No idea what he had, (engine wise). It just sounded fantastic and certainly turned heads!!
Nearly done. Note to self, don't drink and model......
A few little bits to do tomorrow then I'm calling it done. The kit itself has a bit of a toy vibe, a lot of snap fit at the front wishbones, the steering is workable and it wouldn't take a lot to have it turn the steering wheel as well.
Rear wheels just snap on over pins which leaves them a bit sloppy so I have glued them in place.
There is scope for going all out on the detailing, adding the ignition wiring wouldn't be too difficult as plugs and distributor cap are easily seen.
Carving off the moulded on suspension coils and replacing them entered my mind as well. As did opening the small air scoop on the bonnet.
The later boxing's have a bit more PE and some turned intakes for the carbs. I have one and will probably go down the detailing route if it ever escapes the stash.
Tomorrow should see the final reveal and then I suppose I better do something about this.....

Looking good Karl, you have given me plenty of ideas for when I build this kit.
Regarding the workspace, I must sheepishly admit to being a fully paid up member of the Tidy Bench Club as it was mer cissy beaten into me by my late Dad.

Blimey,yeah,I see what you mean.... having those spaces in the storage rack just doesn't look right...
I actually need more of them for my glass jared paints, this was going to be the month I bought them but something happened on eBay.......Blimey,yeah,I see what you mean.... having those spaces in the storage rack just doesn't look right...
