Monogram MG TC's

[Dave B]

I'm in the MG car club down here and one of the trophies is a TC in a glass case.  Unfortunately this was dropped and one of the committee members, knowing I was a modeller, purchased an unbuilt replacement from EBay then, after talking with me, arranged for the broken model and unbuilt kit to be given to me.  On inspection I decided the broken one was repairable so I stripped it, tanked it in caustic soda and built both at the same time. I think Robin will be suitably surprised when I return both.

Tks for looking

Nice save, nice build. I have one of those patiently waiting to be a club racer.

Great save, I can't tell which one was damaged and which one is new. I recently bought a Monogram metal-body kit and you're inspiring me to get to it. Well done and model on! 

[slusher]

both look really nice.

[Bainford]

Nice pair of little MGs.

That's a great restoration- I have a metal body TC as well and the delicate chassis components don't like all that weight- I need to figure out how to reattach a broken front wheel to a broken axle as well as some other damage from household moves.

Love the TC's ever since I read The Red Car by Don Stanford as a kid.  I have read it multiple times and still love it.  My 18 year old grandson has read it twice.  Nice work on them.

Great save !  Anybody that's ever driven a TC knows how much fun they are to drive !

[cobraman]

Nice work, they look great !

Very nice TC's, David - the only difference is the color of the horn (?) below the right headlight.

[Justin Porter]

These look really great. The Monogram MG TC is one of those kits I keep promising myself I'll watch out for.

Tks guy's, I appreciate your comments. Helmut, the one with the black horn is the original, it is also minus both the rear view mirrors.

I also had wheels broken off and managed to drill the axle and wheel and pin them with spring wire  and super glue.
