bbowser Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Has anyone built these? I was surfing eBay and stumbled upon them while looking for something else. Revell of Germany, they look kind of cool.
Matt Bacon Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 They are. Great kit of a great car... I don't recall any problems with this one at all. That box just in front of the windscreen on the middle of the engine bay has got a tiny but strong magnet in it, and there's a thin steel plate on the underside of the bonnet so that it's held firmly down in place when closed. I built a new "open" grille using stretched sprue for a bit more realism. I also filled the original location of the fuel filler behind the tonneau cover, and scribed in a new one on the rear wing, to match the reference images of John Surtees' car that I had. I think there's a similar vintage XK120 to complete the set with the 507 and XKSS, which is an equally good base to work with. bestest, M.
PowerPlant Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I just started the convertible a few days ago... Looks like a nice, detailed kit with many parts, but lots of flash to sand off of small pieces...
