Complete: 1/24 Revell Smart Car

[mej023]

I don't think Revell could decide whether the Smart Car was a model kit or an assembly-toy. The opening doors and snap-fit assembly are quite toy-like, as are some of the plastics involved - not every part is polystyrene. Some are more like polythene, inclduing the main body shell. The decals are all stickers, though in this instance that's no bad thing, but pre-painted parts take some of the skill out of the hobby. The parts fitment is so-so, like Fujimi on an average day.
I'm not a big fan of the Smart Car (or "wheeled bottle bank"), but for 50p from a car boot sale, it was too cheap to pass on.

Just had a look at your website. Curious as to what paint you are using for indicator and rear lights?

Sometimes I use Tamiya Enamel - the transparent-coloured type. For larger light clusters
when I can get in there with the tip, I use a magic marker.
