I really can't add anything to what's already been said Jim. You have done a super job with the scratchy and the painting is also first rate!!! If anything, you need to add a fig of you behind the wheel and maybe the grandkids as passengers, out for a Sunday drive in the country...
Absolutely superb jim ! Youve worked miracles in bringing this veteran kit ( see what I did there ? Ok I’ll get my coat,) up to scratch with your additions . A fantastic build , cheers tony
Thanks guys for your very kind posts. One thing for sure - my next kit will be much newer.
I think I paid about £14 for the kit but if you can find one they often go for two or three times that. It seems that even total rubbish goes for big money if it's rare.
I will use your build thread as a guide for mine which I bought three years ago for £8 including P&P but as you say, they go for silly money if you are unlucky.
