    Shouldn't take long, only 46 parts, and green all over!

      Well, it's nearly done! Just little bits like Aerials and lights to fit.

      Ready for some paint now, although it's a bit chilly in the garage aka spray shop. Plenty of room though, as my TR4A has gone away for some gearbox surgery.
      Although this is obviously a short-run kit, most of the fit is pretty good. The plastic is a bit strange though, it doesn't seem to react to Contacta cement like usual, there's very little initial grip until the cement has had a few seconds to soften the plastic.

        Very nice little kit Pete, there's one of these in Reeth in Swaledale, which looks to be ex-Hong Kong police.

          It is indeed a very nice kit Graeme. Hardly any flash and everything fitted. Not many locating points so a bit tricky to get some of the parts in the right place.
          I put the finished photos in the 'builds of 2022' thread, but here they are again:
