roadhawg Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Excellent! The stance is perfect, not all jacked up (incorrectly) too high like a lot of builders do. The paint is perfect! This is my idea of a true gasser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYHARRY Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Outstanding! These old compacts were popular with the gassers as they were lightweight. The paint is incredible and represents it's 1:1 origins well. I've built this kit way back in the 80s but sadly lost it in a house move. Another nice kit is the revell Thames panel gasser. Mine needs a rebuild but would be well worth it. Again, great British gasser. Cheers, David. 😎👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Wow...beautiful model. I built this model when I was 15 or 16 or there abouts, in the late 1960s, early 1970s. Mine never looked like yours. I thought mine build was a Revell but I really can't remember what I had for lunch today let alone what I did 50 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
