      As Paul says it will be fun to see how this shapes up. I wouldn't fancy those black decals window surrounds. I think I'd mask and paint.

      I've seen one or two of these things on he road. An interesting vehicle, but not for me, I like four wheels.

        Love this one. I made it in the early seventies. They were rare as hen's teeth (and even more expensive)until Airfix re issued it recently. Spoilt things for a few collectors I imagine

                    What's wrong with it, just because you were a squaddie at the time and had to have a short-back-and-sides...????

                      Good luck with your build Ian, is this the vintage classic Airfix redid the clear parts for or am I mixing it up with another one?

                      Geoff.

                      A disgraceful comment, and a total dis-service to the skills of the local Grade Three Hair Technicians!

                        the best thing is that if I remember correctly the driver is actually modelled with said coiffure!

                          Made a start on this one, I’ve got the engine built and painted, also the chassis.
