Rich Chernosky Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Mike...we all have that one project that just seems to linger on the workbench. We're glad when its finished. You persevered and that's important. In my opinion it turned out great. Just finished a Heller kit (BMW 328) myself and they are no walk in the park. You did well on this one. Looks good.

Yes we all do get stalled from time to time and I also get side tracked (pun intended) with trains and our business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Great job on what was obviously a difficult kit. I have stalled projects so many times and given up. I think you did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I'm not all the familiar with these cars but I don't think I've ever seen that color before. Nice looking and great detail work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Proud or not, I think you have done some really nice work here, especially in the engine bay. Are those resin wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 As others have mentioned Heller kits are quirky at best. Display it with the bonnet open to see the great engine work, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
