    Nick's Heller 1/24 Renault 8 Gordini - Mr Bowcat's Racers GB

    Well, here she is all finished. Its an old tooling and neither particularly well detailed or great in the fitting, but I am satisfied with how she turned out. The Zero paints and decals went on very nicely. Thanks Bob for suggesting the Group Build which gave me the motivation to dig this one out and get on with it.....

    Here are the pics..

    If anyone is interested in tackling this one, Heller have just re-issued it in a set with a newly-tooled Renault van and trailer.....

      Very nice rendition of a much maligned car. Well done in creating a true likeness from a questionable quality kit.

                                      Not the prettiest of cars but you made a great job of depicting it. Great paintwork.

                                          Nice one Nick, you've captured the essence of the little Renault's appeal perfectly.
