This is my next victim and its a reboxing of the esci kit that I had in the 1990s.


The moulding is good not much flash if any the only downside is the lack of and engine but overall a good kit.


This would be one for the scratch builder if they wanted to do another body style.


The first thing that has been done is the masking off the the lower body in readiness for the first coat of blue.

Never seen this kit before, it is certainly one that would fit into my current stash.  Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Wow this really is something different, I don't think I've seen a kit like this before. The colour scheme looks cool too.


 You're doing a great job so far Peter, I think I'll stick around to see how this develops  xD

More work done I have started on the seats and dashboard and I have chosen right hand drive.


One note of point on the glass in the front doors,they have two locating lugs either side you will need to cut one off as the glass is not flexible enough to bend.

Almost finished just the wheel trims and the decels plus some weathering to go


This is a nice kit to build no issues except with the windows in the front doors

Excellent subtle weathering there. I always goes too far.
