Anteater Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 To conclude the WIP thread here: This was a personal build for me, being a replica of my partner's old Eunos G-Limited. Replacing a 190,000 mile Vauxhall (Dis)Astra, she found it at the bargain basement end of a trader's pitch out towards Mansfield. It had big wheels, stupid lights and a daft square number plate on the nose, but we un-modified it back to largely standard form and happily ran it for a few years. It's fondly remembered but it didn't last long with the next owner, not being taxed or MOT'd since December 2016. The model is probably tidier than the real thing ever was and Tamiya TS-53 does a fair job of replicating the original Satellite Blue.

Anteater Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks all, your comments are appreciated, I'm quite pleased with this one. I probably could have got a better paint finish given infinite free time but it photographs quite well and that's half the battle. Makes me quite nostalgic for the old thing.
