Rediscovered this the other day, one of my Dad's old kits:



The quality of the mouldings and plastic is chuffing outstanding even by todays standards, never mind the 1950's! The plastic is so smooth and opaque you could polish it without painting it.

I've got a built-up example somewhere, but I might have a go at this one sometime with some aftermarket wire wheels and a bit of engine detail.

ETA, maybe not, there's one on Ebay for knocking on £50!

Why not refurbish the already built up example?

I'll dig it out and have a look.

I feel the need....the need for a tub of brake fluid and a razor saw.
