cmatthewbacon Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I have to admit, I’m a “bit” of an E-type nerd… I recently added “Factory Original E-Type” to my library for detailing the big 1/8 ex-Monogram kit when I get to it… best, M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 ...and now for the great unveiling, yes its COMPLETE!!! I've really enjoyed this build, the kit is great with good parts fit and just enough work needed to be done to clear mould lines and such that makes it interesting without being a PITA. It has huge scope for added detail, particularly under the bonnet which I did a little of but chickened out of adding the spark plug leads etc The biggest problem with the kit is the lack of a PROPER British number plate, but that could be fixed with aftermarket or even just making your own. We are modellers after all aren't we I should note at this point that the chrome trim on the bonnet is actually a decal provided in the kit. With a bit of Microsol, it went down on the raised plastic a treat and looks the business IMO! I put some dark wash around the door panel lines as these do stand out in the photos of the real thing. The 'badge' on the bonnet is a decal and at this scale does the job well. I had to put a small db of blue-tac at the front to keep the bonnet open for this pic The grille is a decal. So there it is, I'm very pleased with this addition to my fledgling car collection. Must now get round to doing that Lotus Europa I've got in the stash! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
