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.post-2533-0-94937900-1429361913.jpgpost-2533-0-25978600-1429361956.jpg

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,

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...
