Box top.........................the chrome wheel discs weren't supplied in the kit.

I bought this on ebay UK about 6 or so months ago. The date of the kit is 1969 so the decals (although I coated them in two layers of gloss clear) would not release from the paper backing except the footprints that I've put on the roof!
I have found another sheet of decals called 'Flower Power', so used those.

Hi Patrick
I love it - real fun modelling. Having said that I recognise the skill and patience that must have gone into this to get such a great result.

Thanks Jim. Yes it was dodgy as the instructions were of dark black & white pictures, with little correct locations marked, as with the front windscreen, no contact points at all.

Thanks guys, yes an old kit and with minimal instructions, I kept having to Google for pictures of built ones to guess what to do, but it worked out OK in the end!

Hi Patrick, I thought the Sand Piper was a plane. Still this looks awesome...fancy having one to go to the beach. Nicely done.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Richard, yes it would be great to take one to the beach but the tyres would let it down as they would have no grip!
