I had to look at my real one, the brake servo/master cylinder is where the washer bottle is on the kit, but then my one is RHD, so it makes sense they were changed over for left hand drive. Looking good Jim.

Well done JC!

Any use?

It really looks a bit like a Mk2 Lotus Cortina from that side pic JC!

That is looking good Jim.

That rear end looks like a Mk3 Cortina.... Nice start Geoff. White stripes. Go on go on. lol!

That's a nice colour Geoff, can you show the box art?

I have and old one, but it's a recent repop. yellow paint with black stripes on the box art I think Dann.

The rear lights on the revell are just clear red, see if you can find the clear versions on the Tamiya from somewhere, also the wheels and tyres are much better, but the Revell is the only game in town for a full detail MX-5. My one is British racing green, can't find any pics.

Excellent! You'd have trouble going to the store to get milk though lol.

The other thing is people think both the bonnet and boot lid are aluminium, but it's just the bonnet. My one is well travelled, it's actually a Eunos Roadster. Sehond hand Jap imports (right hand drive which works here) were popular back in the late 90's. Looking forward to more Jim! I have the Revell kit, the body shell is nowhere as nice as the Tamiya, but they are both exactly the same size, making the revell kit 1/24 not 1/25 as the box says.

Nice stance JC.

No stainless, it helped the cat warm up faster was the reason I think. Goes out to the garage to look at my NA.....lol

the exhaust manifold is made from stainless steel if that helps.

Great job on an old kit, love the Surrey top.
