Mr Bowcat Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Cheers guys. Vince, I had one in that colour when I was 18, which is why it's blue instead of the correct white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted a Manta or two but never been lucky enough,have you got any photo's of her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bowcat Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Unfortunately not. That was 30 years ago so pre-digital. I'd love another one but they are mega bucks nowdays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Great selection of gorgeous models. I particularly like the Manta as my mate bought a new A-reg one when he was 19. To say that I was envious would be an understatement!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bowcat Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Cheers AD. Mine was a Manta B GTE coupe, D plate '86 (D317CEH). Had loads of awesome times in that car, you could slide the rear end out at will, often went round bends and roundabouts sideways. As a result I kept my papers in the glove box, got a producer at least once a week.🤣 Edited May 15, 2021 by Mr Bowcat 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the Manta GTE Exclusive model in that blue , seem to remember ? Looks a lot easier colour scheme to do than the one I'm building in the WIP section ..... Good work Gary.

Mr Bowcat Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Not sure, mine wasn't an exclusive, and I only remember seeing them in white? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Those are really smart, really really smart, the Opel especially, I'm a sucker for anything with square flares. Any chance of some more info as to which kits & what mods if any you've made. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Quality group of builds. Really well done. Like my model bikes therefore the Repsol is my favourite.👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bowcat Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Cheers guys. Steve, they are: 1/24 Belkits Opel Manta 400 1/24 Tamiya Mitsubishi Evo VI WRC 1/24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R V R34 1/12 Tamiya Repsol Honda RC213V They were pretty much all OOB, I did add some Studio 27 harnesses to the Evo. I've only built a couple of cars before (and no bikes) so these were all subjects to learning new techniques. I'm currently building another bike (Tamiya Yamaha YSF R1) but after that I'm planning on building the Kawasaki H2 Carbon and will be adding the detail up set and some scratch building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anteater Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The Manta immediately grabbed my attention, but there is some lovely detailing on the motorcycle too. I be happy with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
