A last minute entry to Bob's G.B. Thanks Bob! I finally found the lost sprue shot!

This will be a bit of a fun quicky, so don't blink or you'll miss the build.....

Here's the original Airfix six kit box.


The chosen one.


A very old kit with few parts.


Decals.


There you go.
As I wrote, it's a fun build. ending in a finish......fit for a poorly detailed kit.


NOT in someone's swimming pool like the last rally car I built!


Cheers.

Not heard of this "box of six". Certainly gives you choice.

No fear of being splashed so I'll sit at the front.

I'd be careful if I was you Jim! Just 'cos Ron says it ain't goin' into a swimmin' pool, that don't mean it won't end up in a canal or muddy ditch! You know 'ow Ron likes 'is water!

Watch out for the decals.....not the best.....well the ones in my box wasnt lol

[Jim R]

You know 'ow Ron likes 'is water!

True. I'll bring my raincoat just in case :smiling:

I'm in Ron, but I have to run down to the €1 store and grab me a rain poncho or something...I just hope you ain't finished with it before I get back, at the rate you build things!!!

Prost

Thanks for the most excellent starter posts chaps. All good stuff. :thumb2:

Thanks also to Paul for the decals 'Heads Up', much appreciated. I well remember the decals from the car in the swimming pool build!

But by the time I've finished with this brute, there won't be much to see of them!

Thanks again chaps......

I've added the wheels to the floorpan and after seeing the price of a couple of 'Pilots' in this scale, I nicked a couple of 1/48 sodjer torso and heads from my spares bin.

The figures will hardly be seen, so they will do. "Elementary my dear Watson!"

I've started to brush on some paint too.







Yes, I know......but guess what?

Cheers.

My guess will be water filled ditch :smiling: off to a good start Ron

Nice start Ron.

Gentlemen you are too kind. Personally, I think it's as rough as a bears a***.

However, the finished veehikal needs to be nothing better...

Sorry Mick, no goldfish in a plastic bag this time.

Yours.

Using Vallejo Air, I've brushed on the three main body shell colours and some black for the door posts and internals. As usual complete with some brusherofferable dust!



Cheers.
