Monogram Green Hornet 'T'. I have a life long hate for chrome plating, so I'm chilling out with this one! -

The Renault is finished: Although tyre's weren't marked in the era, I've put some spare decals on anyway. -

Thanks guys, as a retired race and rally marshal these were red hot in the day on the forest stages, alongside my other favourite the Lancia Stratos! The Renault was a fibreglass wonder with only a 1100cc engine to begin with that was enlarged over the years to 1300 and later a 1600cc motor! As I said in another post a near neighbour who works for Renault has th new version of the Alpine and the new Renault 5 EV, which is now known as the Alpine A290! See below, promotional photo's! -
Amazing! Very well done! I don't think I would be up to all of the detail!

As a rally marshal in the day this was my favourite car! We have in the UK a kit car manufacturer that makes just this!

What did you see on the road today?
PatW replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm 77 take away 60 years and my girl friend at the time had two big brothers who both had one of the 3 cylinder two strokes and were into rallying! They were tuned by a guy at Leighton Buzzard about 10 miles away and they went like stink. In fact the M1 motorway (three lanes each side) was opened in the early 1960's when the Very New Jaguar E Types were first released so one of the dealers ran one on the M1, to test the speed, as he was reaching 110mph one of the SAAB fully tuned three cylinder Two Strokes over took him! -

Thanks Bob, as I said on another thread I just love decalling, after only 60 years of model making! -
I have used the decals from another more expensive GT3 kit, so modifying the decals to fit. This is the GT3 car.

A few decals, that were for a GT3 racing version which is twice the price of this kit. So a bit of cutting decals to fit! Especially around the doors! -
