Fnick Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Morning all Finished! 🙂. Apart from the bonnet which does not close properly on both sides at once...☹️ I'm happy with how it's come out. I didn't have too much time to take photos as I did it during my lunch break and didn't get any decent ones of the interior. Main colours used in this build were tamiya TS gun metal, greenstuffworld airbrush chrome for all chrome parts and my own mix for the interior tan colour. Oh yeah and the wheels are 3D printed. I did use the kit tyres though. I'll stop rambling... And as promised a couple with the baby one! And one last one with a black background under artificial lighting. Thanks for looking, Nick 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Are the 3D printed wire wheels from Motobitz? They do 1/32 and 1/43 scale wires too.I Neatly finished model of my favourite British sports car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 That's very nice and the colour suits it very well, here on the finished model it really falls into place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceeb555 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 That looks superb and what appears to be a super finish on the paintwork. A stunning replica of an iconic 60’s supercar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Very nice build and in a colour which suits the shape surprisingly well too. The photography isn't half bad either. In fact I only have one criticism - how come you've only shown us one side? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnick Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Couldn't help yourself could you...🙄😋 There you are Spiny... Just for you... Oh and thanks very much for your comments.🙂😁 Always appreciated (yes I do mean that!). I hadn't even realised I'd only shown one side...🤗 Nick 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neddy Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 A gorgeous piece of work. Beautifully executed paint job, detailing just right, really well finished all round. Lovely unusual colour but it suits the E-Type perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toftdale Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Can only echo everybody else's comments, fantastic job and not an obvious colour, but it suits her well. Looking forward to your next build - Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fnick Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thank you all! You're too kind. I'm interested by the comments about the colour. Yes it is an unusual colour for an e type but they do exist! 🙂 Here's a photo of a real one courtesy of Hendon way motors. Nick 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Interesting thread to follow about Nick's splendid Revell E Type build. It would be nice if Revell tooled up a new MGB kit with Roadster and Coupe options with engine detail. The one they issued before was a kerbside re boxed Aoshima kit. I would love to see the Jensen Interceptor kitted. British car, Italian styling with American grunt. Or maybe a Triumph Stag or TR4 in 1/24th scale. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
