Richard Bartrop Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) This is the 1/32 Pyro Kit, and is definitely one of their better offerings. I did replace the kit's black vinyl tires with a set cast in white RTV. Edited December 13, 2015 by Richard Bartrop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Those1/32 Pyro classics can be surprisingly good. They made a very nice 1/32 Bugatti T59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurva Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Seems like 1/32 Smer kit, but with engine. I'm building one too, with 1/32 Hispano-Suiza engine from Roden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I added some reflectors to the headlights using the domes from a pair of wiggly doll eyes and some BMF. The dash was done in flat brown with some grain added with a coloured pencil, followed by a coat of clear orange, with some gold BMF for the instruments.

Richard Bartrop Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) The acetylene tank was missing from the kit, so I scratched up a new one. I also made a new taillight that looked more like the one on the real car. I rubbed a little powdered charcoal into the tread of the tires to simulate road grime. I think I'm calling this on done.

unclescott58 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Wow! Very nice job Richard. Contrary to rumors, as we can see be your build, those old Pyro kits are not bad kits at all. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
