Hadn't built a plastic kit in about 15 years, didn't think i would again but got the urge again and bought an old Revell Anglia kit on impulse off E-bay. built a couple of these back in the late 80's bt they didn't turn out great, it's quite a tricky kit to build properly.

Still have a small collection i kept from the 90's, must have scrapped 100's, "kit bashed" quite a lot, hardly ever built a kit box stock.



Wanted a big blown motor for the Anglia rather than the kit supplied injected Old's so used a 440 Chrysler motor from the Revell 69 Charger kit and the blower from the 69 Firebird kit, blower drive is scratch built.



Took about two months to build working on it when i had the time, turned out better than i'd expected, had to strengthen the centre steering link as the wheels wouldn't sit straight, also seperated the grill from the bonnet and glued the grill to the shell.



Enlarged the rear arches to get the rear lower, paint is Focus ST orange, windows are made from yellow headlight tint film.



May make a push bar/bumper for the rear from a bit of aluminium tube i have.







Bitten by the bug again, bought the Revell Thames Gasser van kit, but as that is so similar to the Anglia i'll leave that for now.

Going to build this next (kit already bought)
