Thanks droogie, here's the kit...............................

Thanks Chris.

Cheers Dave, all of the engine detail is under a clip on cover that's difficult to get off without damaging the decals!

Great looker Dave, well done. I've looked at these on various websites and couldn't get past the odd shaped windscreen, but seeing one built that looks so good has convinced me to look again at getting one. I've built about 8 Manx's using various wheels, ride heights, colours etc. so I shall be looking for one of these, thanks for sharing!

Very neat and great paint!

Superb build, I had the same problems with the suspension and the body left big gaps over the rear arches on both sides!

A slight change I've used my new Molotow chrome pen to update the parts I had painted alluminium, rims,radiator,exhausts,windscreen surround and rocker boxes.

Hi 58 Impala, the info on the kit on the first page if you want to get one.

Very good indeed Chuck. It's nice to see two Jeeps not bristling with guns.

Thanks for the info Noel.

Thanks Bob, yes I've been looking for one of the original kits for years now so took the opportunity to get one of these as soon as I heard about them. Like the Hawk Sandpiper I bought earlier this year for a very good price after seeing one on ebay.com for nearly $200, take the last nought off and I got mine for that! It's very much a waiting game but for how long!

Thanks Jurgen. Yes as you say about resins, you just have to be patient and shave a bit off here and a bit off there and hey presto it all fits together! But it helps when it's a top quality kit as well.

Well done Art it looks fantastic and as I'm a decal watcher/printer and user, the rear tyre decals are superb!

Thanks Bob. Yes all of the images of model or 1:1 had black roofs, not contrasting enough!

Thanks Steve and yes you need to build it and show it off!

Well done triple 'R' superb build and finish!

Thanks guys, for your great comments.

Cheers aurfalien.

Thanks randyc, yes, weird shape suits me down to the ground!

Cheers Andy. Yes it was good to work on. I would call it a typical resin kit, very little flash, nice thin body panels, but slightly thicker interior unit that needed a bit of shaving down, but otherwise very good detail. Someone found me the build plans on coffin corner 2 site.

Thanks Steve, I would like to find a rare plastic kit of it though!

Thanks Dave, The cost including shipping to the UK was $104AUS. Glenn's ebay site is resinblob64, although this one isn't on there, so contact him on glenn.polky@skymesh.com.au.

This came resin cast from Glenn Polkington in Australia..... And this is the finished item, all I needed to find was clear plastic for the front and rear windows. I also added alloy intakes on top of the engine............. Being a resin kit the wheels had to be painted as in the original Monogram plastic kit they were chromed.

Thanks Jimmy.
