YES! 1960's Hippy cool!

Great looking Opel Manta, I remember those on the rally stages!

Cheers Mike.

I've seen quite a few in the States, across Europe and here in the UK transformed by electric power. All have been superbly built and for us here in the UK it's going to be the future. Not yet as we haven't the infrastructure to generate enough electricity to support houses (Gas boilers/wood burners etc are gradually being outlawed) but we need far more nuclear power plants built. We have a lot of offshore wind farms but not enough to support the thought of all electric vehicles, now when the wind stops the lights will go out.

Well Claude I don't know how I missed this? But it's just superb in every way!

Thanks guys.

Yes Bill, all clipped together Lego style.

One from an online shop, And the other from ebay.. Both due in the post today and both Snap-Kits!

Thanks guys, just a filler until I find another 1/24 or 1/25!

Finished today.

Update : Finished!

What happened to this uncle scott?

Neat on the street!

I bought this kit years ago. Having recently had problems with paint (+masking) or lack of it I found a spray can of gun-metal grey I popped this out of the box. As I have no white matt or gloss at present, to get the white strip along the body I cut off the excess/margin of white decal paper having used it to print other decals. I've also finished the interior, the neon roll cage is perhaps not factory colour but...

Very neat indeed! I'll be very pleased if mine turns out like this!

Thanks Tom.

Thanks guys for your valuable input!

Yes even I saw that one here in the UK!

Already done it! With 3D roof carrier.

Cheers, nice to hear from someone who knows what they are doing!

Thanks Roger.

Thanks Nigel. We saw various types of these at various visits to the Bug Jam near to us at Santa Pod and at the Volksworld Shows at Sandown Park over the years.

Cheers Les. My hands are shaking already!

As much as possible. I have seen various kits shortened and wanted to trie it myself.

I need advice because I don't want to get this wrong!
