Kitkent Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Just a small one,I bought this 1/43 Provence Moulage resin kit from from our nice friend here, Klubman 01. Just finished,so I thought I should show and tell,decals were the most time consuming part I suppose. I was going to show my older model of the winning car,no.2. But it looks quite rough in comparison though I suppose that is because I built it in 1989! I learnt for instance to trim the edges of decals that go onto 1/43 windscreens, the excess film will show…… Anyway,hope you like, and thanks to Trevor. Chris. 29 1
Potsie Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Stunning model! An absolute classic race car and you have done it justice. 1
SnøMotion Posted October 31 Posted October 31 This looks fantastic! And amazing detail for the scale 👌 Martin 1
klubman01 Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Well, that turned out nice! Glad you were able to produce such a good looking model. Trevor 1
Malc2 Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Nice! 1/43 - it still amazes me how you all do it in such a small scale and look do good. M. 1
Kitkent Posted October 31 Author Posted October 31 Thanks Trevor and everyone for liking a Silk Cut car! The kit could have been released in 1988 at the earliest,so the kit decals could be 35 years old and they still behaved like new. I agree,it’s a classic colour scheme, Chris. 1 1
keefr22 Posted October 31 Posted October 31 I built the same kit many years ago - and made a complete dog's dinner of the decals around the nose. Tried to rectify the situation by hand painting. And made everything 10 times worse....!! I wish my effort had been even half as good as that little beauty you built, really lovely model....!! Keith 1 1
Vesa Jussila Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Real classic once again. I really like this period Jaguars. 1
Toftdale Posted November 11 Posted November 11 Very neat work around, but particularly impressive work on the decals - Andy 1 1
Kitkent Posted November 11 Author Posted November 11 It’s just as well I quite like decalling and that they were Cartograf decals that mostly behaved themselves! Thanks,Chris.
Watto Posted November 11 Posted November 11 Group C race cars were just a bit special weren't they ? You've really done a fantastic job all round 👍 I'm fortunate to own an Exoto 1\18 diecast because I was too scared to build the Tamiya kit. Superb stuff, what's next on your build schedule, more group C? Watto 🍻 1
Kitkent Posted November 11 Author Posted November 11 Cheers! I went to Le Mans for the 1st.time in 1987,and was allowed to go every other year, so I didn’t go in 1988 and 1990 when Jaguar won! Group C was very excellent I agree,with the best coIour schemes too. I think I should next finish the two Arrows GP cars that are half done. Both Arrows A2 from 1979, one in 1/43 is a Provence Moulage resin kit and a companion resin kit in 1/24. Chris. 1
Southern_northerner Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Amazing work. Personally I couldn't do that small not only do I have sausage fingers I'd get irritated at the fiddlyness and end up throwing it. SN 1
