Bainford Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Cool project, Lee. I think you nailed the colour. I've had one of these kits in the stash for years waiting for its turn at bat. Perhaps I'll be inspired. I'm watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THarrison351 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I built this kit like 40 years ago. Molded in red plastic and I painted it with Testors Emerald Green. Yeah, that worked. Yours is looking great! The multipiece body looks like it went together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Beautiful cars these Austin Healeys. Ferrari could have stole this design and nobody would think it was an Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thanks guys! Yeah, just take your time and the body goes together well. Leave the seams on the fenders, they are on the real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Started this kit several decades ago, body all glued together but work stopped there. Considering its age and multi part reputation it is a very nice and accurate kit. You're doing a good job on yours. Keep it up, hopefully you can inspire me to pull mine out of the stash and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Engine completed. May have to rethink the air cleaners for lack of room under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bartrop Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Gotta love those old Healys. They're almost the perfect embodiment of a '50s sports car. I'm going to be following this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Looking forward to seeing this one progress, my Dad worked at Jensen, where the bodyshells were produced before they were transported to Abingdon for them to be built up.

Bainford Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Nice work on the engine. I 've always thought the engine in this kit was particularly well done for its age, and your detailing has really brought it to life. It looks great.

Classicgas Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks. The instructions are wrong on a couple of parts, so do your research. I have a handful of pics if you need for yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Made a air cleaner change. Most prototypical and takes up less room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
