1/24 Aoshima MGB roadster

Considering this is a 30 year old kit, with care it builds into a lovely representation of an early MGB roadster. The stance needs lowering & the wire wheels look a little “toy” until panel washed & Matt lacquered, otherwise it’s fine.
I added flocked carpet, photo etched wipers, bare metal foil, Beccs UK number plates & applied Iris blue paint.

Pictured with Tamiya’s 1/24 Fiat 500, also a fine kit over 25 yrs old.

Your build of this Aoshima MGB Roadster is really good John, and I like that Tamiya Fiat also . . . Well done with the paint finish on the MGB which looks just right in terms of colour and shiny surface. Your photography shows off both of these model cars to good effect, and it is always a good idea taking some Black&White photos as well, particularly for late 50's and early '60's motor cars.

Beautiful B. Very nice work on this build, and the paint looks stellar. Love the colour. I built one of these a couple years ago, and in a similar colour, too. Nice little kit that goes together very well. I had to lower the ride height on mine as well. Lovely work on yours.
