Well thank you Mark.

Thanks David yes it would be great to drive. Well with rear seats the passenger's wouldn't be able to see the anything!

Thanks for your comments Tom. It's unfortunate that I can't answer any questions on this one as it's the only one I've ever seen. I've not seen this kit being available here in the UK.

Thanks Ray.

Cheers Mike.

This kit I understand is a re-issue by Lindberg in 1/20th scale. I've changed a few things along the way, mainly removing the wood panels alongside and back of the removable top, and adding windows and travel destination decals. I've also changed the front wheels as the tyres are a different style to the rears, with a very wide squared off tread, for rear wheels and tyres from the Meyers Manx kit. These wheels/tyres are just a shade smaller in diameter but much narrower. And in my normal way, changed the paint colour to 'Rover Metalic Green' and added a number of home-brewed decals. The one area of change was having to add strips of plastic to the bottom of the body as when test fitted to the completed chassis, the height of the fan housing and dynamo stopped the body/chassis coming together level. And wired the engine.

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks guys, yes lets see your offerings on this type of racer!

Thanks Ray. Yes Ed just like a loud swarm of wasps, bees or hornets!

Thanks guys. Yes it's a bundle of fun on our 'B' classified country roads that are just wide enough for two cars! And also on the race track where you have a one make series. Imagine 30 or 40 of these on the startline!

I've built this box stock and just added seatbelt decals. It depicts the Japanese 660cc turbocharged racer..........

Thanks Stephen.

Built Box Stock...........

I've been around the top today with scissors to make it look more factory fitted rather than just 'thrown over' as before.

Thanks Dann, I stripped all the chrome, to ensure that the paint stayed on! I fully built the chassis with complete front axle and all the engine /gearbox and suspension and sprayed it in situ. Then attached the screen surround and rear seat, haedlight and rear light bases and sprayed that in one piece and then glued the chassis to the body!

Due to advice regarding the hood, I have made a new 'Draped Over' Hood taking info from 'How To's' and YouTube and added some decals.

Yes Bob, I bet it looked unusual at the time, but over here in the UK at present, people are crying out to have their sportscars matt vinyl wrapped, mainly in black,dark brown & dark grey!

Thanks Keith. Yes Richard, I all of a sudden thought of using this 'Nato Green' rattle can. I was initially going to convert this to a six-wheeler, but couldn't decide on the chassis design. I can still do that in the future though. The tarp is off and due a re-hash after find a 'how to' on another forum!

Thanks guys!

Thanks Mike, I've yet to improve on the 'Canvas Hood'. I have a few more of the unused tops to try other methods!

This one has a bit of a military look, but I haven't got a white star decal to go on the bonnet(hood). I've also wrapped the top in a wet spectacle cleaning cloth and waited for it to dry! Also painted matt finish. It doesn't fit perfectly but it's OK!..................................

Thanks guys. The cab paint finish is home printed decals. I've no idea what sizes they are, but it doesn't look too bad.

Super job Shane, well done!

This is the kit, with trailer all that is needed is two wheels and tyres............. A liitle bit of work is needed to put it together, but otherwise it is a good quality resin kit. My basic dio..............
