Supplied as an already started with the tyres missing and a few parts too. I had to radius the front arches (not done that before) as the wheel/tyre combination was slightly wider. I painted the interior matte black.

Oh look a real one! We've not seen this photo in the UK before either. Thanks guys, super little kit in near !/24 scale. Yes it needs an air filter to play in the dirt, but we don't see many V8 kits here in the UK the parts for them are rare. I really wanted to change to a Carb and low filter and modify the bonnet (hood) so it was flat and covered the engine completely.

Cheers Carl.

Thanks Doyle, yes they are just as good looking as any other kits.

Yes another snap-kit, I only painted the interior and the running boards as both were too shiny. Some of the old decals tried to fall to bits, but I saved most of them!

Just an update, Last to do tomorrow will be the front and rear bumpers, the aerial and the Fire Department stickers. 27.11.22 Finished!

Started this today, another Snap-Kit, since finishing the Airfix Quicksand Jeep. Only interior paint on this one, keeping the Red body just polished.

Cheers David.

Thanks guys. The plain black was too sombre.

Yes it's a Snap-Kit build up, and finding a few old acrylic matte colour bottles, I used a brush! I also used a Molotow chrome pen and clear red and orange.

I recently bought the Airfix Jeep Quicksand Quickbuild. Although a 'Snap-Kit' that goes together very easily, It's just gloss back with red interior parts, I found a few old acrylic paint bottles so painted it as such.. I hope to finish it tomorrow.

Another super job!

Superb! Something I've been looking for, for sometime!

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?
