Chuck Most Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 First 1:43 model I've ever built, and it may be the last completed model for me this year. It's the late '70's tool Heller kit, which has also been sold in Airfix and Humbrol-branded boxes. Very few parts, and other than the tire halves (which have no means of positive location) the parts lock together pretty well. I grimed it up a bit, and plan to add a little more weathering once my eyes uncross. I have to say I'm in no hurry to do a small scale model again anytime soon, and I have to hand it to people who can build these to look as impressive as a larger scale piece. But I had fun and kept my Mini bender running, so that's all that matters to me. Just for kicks, here it is as meat in a 1:24 scale Tamiya Mini sandwich.
Belugawrx Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 now that is small,... but well doneCheers
GTJUNIOR Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Looks amazing, considering the scale. Well done.
maltsr Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Yes, that's a great kit for 1/43, quite realistic.
bismarck Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Looks great even in that tiny scale. Love the mini's!!
peekay Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Nice job! I built one of these a while ago and thought the basic shapes were spot on - same with the other cars in the series.
