Finished Monty's Humber.
It's an older Airfix kit I found on eBay but quite happy with the final outcome.
I'm not overly happy with the paint-jobs on Monty and his driver but the rest is okay. Had to make a few guesses on the build and make some add-ins.
The changes were:
1) Add some offcut sprue under the soft-top as it sat too low and looked odd.
2) The mechanism that held up the rear window didn't fit right so fixed it with parts not needed from the 'roof-up' optional setup included in the kit.
3) Did in dessert colours and didn't add the running boards having looked over pics of his dessert car (the OP is olive drab)
4) The rear top plate of the convertible top was flat plastic so I layered up paint to give a more fabric-like look.
