Very nice model. I really like the color. We had a B/W TV only when that show was on.

Super British classic sports car. Well done

Unfortunately Miss Rigg's co-star Patrick Macnee died just last week.

Thanks for all comments!

One of the cars I definitely have to get. Wasn't there a re-box of this like some of the other Gunze kits?

As for Mrs Peel

David, I think you are right. I am not sure, but I think some years ago Airfix sold some re-issues. Anyway IMO all Gunze kits deserve to be re-released.

BTW a very nice picture, maybe it explains what I mean ...

Lovely job, Jurgen. It looks perfect, especially the interior. I have the kit, too, so I know you don't get a whole lot to work with!

Have you got a Heller Bentley to convert to go with it, in memoriam Patrick Macnee?

All the best,

Matt

Matt, indeed I have an original Heller Bentley in the stash. Very interesting idea, who knows ...

Very nice build! I built the low tech one a few years ago, but had some trouble with my paint attacking the plastic.

A likeness in resin or vinyl might be available in a "garage"kit. It seems all the icons of TV and movies get done and usually if a good looking female helps

Very cool little car.I'm sure you could find some sort of resin figure to convert into Emma Peel.

When I said that I never found a replica of Mrs. Peel I had rather a living replica in my mind ...

So did I in the sixties. The episodes with Diana Rigg , however, have been rerun so often on German TV (B/W the earlier epidodes, the later produced in colour) that I still remember the colour of Emma Peel's car.

Super British classic sports car. Well done

Patrick Macnee was almost as popular as Diana Rigg to this day. All major German newspapers printed a short obituary last week, even the most important German weekly political news magazine "Der Spiegel".
