Superb build ....

53, been building on and off since I was about 5 years old

The Mgb is a nice model, but it sits too high for a chrome bumper version

Zero paints have just released both colours http://www.zero-paints.com/Lufthasa_Samba_Bus__Blue_and_Yellow_Paint_Set_2x30ml--product--7622.html

when I built their sedan vertion earlier this year, I mentioned iin my review that there were flashed over marks in the bodyshell and some small clear lamp supplied on the clear parts tree that I thought a police version was going be next, I had an email from revell last week with details of the police version.

Outstanding work, you could mistake this for the real thing ....

Still waiting for the panel wipe to arrive, so I can get the body and body parts painted, did a dry fit of the interior into the body, pretty happy with the results Nearly forgot to fit the clutch and brake pedals, they were airbrushed in satin black with the rubbers picked out with matt black Engine finished, and radiator and coolant hoses fitted, the hose clamps were picked out using chrome bmf Ford script molded into the hubcaps were picked out with clue acrylic

Not my usual model, but at £21.59 and free shipping, i just couldn't refuse

I've been doing a little more on this one over the last week, just need to take a brave pill and get the body (Hopefully) in a nice shiny coat of paint A few drops of duck egg blue was added to some gloss white enamel, just to tone down the bright white, the heater was painted with a mix of Tamiya bronze and titanium gold, the same colour was used for the steering column, the decals are from the spares box, as the originals fell into many pieces as soon as they went into the water.

I shouldn't really be buying anymore models, but I planned on getting a couple of these when they were announced earlier in the year

Brilliant builds, I have the Tamiya one to build, hope it comes out as good as yours did ....

I'll second that, stunning work as usual Harry ...

If you go online there's a section to check on the parts request, when you filled out the online parts request you would have been given a ref' number, pop that in the box on the form, and you'll find out what's happening to your missing parts

Very nice build, I've never built a Cobra either, something I must put right In the future ....

Been working on and off with this one for the last few weeks, had a few problems with the paintwork, and at the moment the bodyshell is waiting to be painted once again, the chassis is 99% finished, just a few shock absorbers to fit and the front and rear sway bars, interior is coming along o.k, just a bit more work with the BMF,

Absolutely brilliant .....

Superb build ....

Superb and very realistic build ...

Thank you for the info', I knew someone on this forum would have the knowledge ...

Well after a failed paintjob, the body is now sitting in a batch of brake fluid, also, and I'm not sure why I missed this when I started to build the model, is that the clear parts are missing, hopefully Revell might be able to help out, as this kit has been re-issued a few times over the year, I've been in touch with them, hopefully they will put something out of the bag, as they helped me out in the past with a new bodyshell for the old Monogram Jeep CJ-7, which I'm waiting to hear anything, I'm going to car on building the chassis and the engine up.

I had the same email this evening, sent from harrypri@att.net, of course it went straight in the spam folder and then deleted

It does if you used to watch the TV series, The Avengers https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ff/0d/04/ff0d046c31596dd8e68371c5bf22f966.jpg

Sorry, Just fell off my chair while reading that ....

Thank you for the link, hopefully I'll get the answer I need

After having this model sitting in my stash for a number of years, I was going to start it last year, but the death of my mother kind of knocked the stuffing out of me, so modelling just seemed to be put on hold, fast forward and having managed to catch up on all my photography work, I dragged myself back into the hobby room, thinking of what to build next, i did look at a few models but decided it was time this one got started, over the last few days I've made quite a good start on it, one thing that puzzles me though is the dashboard, the instructions say to do it to replicate it in wood, which tio me would make sense, as even cars this side of the pond would have had a wooden dashboard for that period of cars, however, people that know me would know that I build models to replicate a car that has just been pulled off the factory line and popped into a dealers showroom, doing a quick search on Google has brought up a few photo's that either show the dash in a light wood colour, even found one that has the dash in a darker wood and a few even show the dash in body colour, now before i get all the body colour parts ready for their paint, which would be correct for a 1948 Ford that has just come off the end of the production line ?? Anyway, now to the model, so far the body has been prepared for it primer coat after having the firewall fitted, which shows it on the instructions being fitted after the body had been painted and a few things fitted to it, such as the motor for the roof, but after doing a dry run, these parts can easily be fitted afterwards, so the firewall was glued and clamped into place The engine has been built up as far as I can before it needs a coat of Ford engine blue, The bonnet (Sorry, Hood) needed a little sanding to get it to fit flush A few parts ready for primer Roof top dry fitted, not sure which I'll use yet, top up or down, I will prepare both and decide when it's finished As you can't build the chassis up as one unit and paint it all together, I'm building as much as i can, such as the front and rear axles, there only held onto the chassis with clamps until the glue to hold the steering linkage and the sway bars are fitted to the axle, which can then be painted as a complete unit, it makes for a stronger and better looking joint
