For my 77th Birthday on St Patrick's Day 2 kits.

I found on the shelves.. But needed the chassis etc for something else, so found in the spares some wheels and arches from a McLaren Sportscar kit. so dropped my new chassis to this.. I have a few more things to do, so will finish this week. I'm annoyed that the bonnet was clear plastic and I only have a metallic blue spray at present! 77 tomorrow so out all day!

Superb, we see a lot of tractors/farm machinery round here.

Cheers Carl. But a bit big to find a space for!

Superb brown finishes!

Superb!

AI is deadly!

Superb! Especially the truck & trailer!

Superb detailing!

Thanks John. Again another car that never appeared anywhere here in the UK.

Thanks ea0863. Yes it very nearly went in the bin, but as a pensioner I can't really afford to do that!

Cheers Carl.

Very nice indeed but so expensive here in the UK.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks Larry, an hour did it!

Cheers Zippi.

Thanks guys. The plastic body comes in that colour.

I was warned after buying it that it may be troublesome, and it was. A twisted body shell didn't help and I tried a few times in hot water to solve it but to no great avail. Hinged doors were also difficult, the drivers door in particular. Shaving it down, cut out most of the inner door panel, but I glued it in, in the end! So here it is as I'm fed up with it now! The tilt forward bonnet/hood didn't work either, the twisted body meant I had to do the same with the hood, bend it quite a bit to fit!

A 'Quick' kit, but had to glue it throughout.

Thanks guys. I don't recollect anyone producing a Reliant Robin no.

You are so right Racephoto1!

Is there a build up thread please, i have a few questions, as the build instructions are sketchy.

Not here yet but on it's way. A friend of our two son's at school, the lad's father had one as his daily runabout. The man had an F1/F2 exhaust manufacturing shop! Oh it's my birthday present (St Patricks Day) I'm only 77, so I'm adding the two together and I'm back at 14 years old! My dear wife of 57 years tells me that's the age I've always been! 27.02.25 Update: delivered today, superb kit!

Thanks David.

For flat windows I use plastic retail packaging, easy to cut and use super glue or Bostick All-Purpose clear glue. My example would be: I use facial razors in shaving each morning, they are Gillette G2 razors. When you buy them in a plastic bag, inside is a clear plastic tray, perfect for cutting out windows with a pair of domestic scissors, hey presto!
