Belkits MG Metro 6r4

[dougwintz]

This kit is very well detailed out of the box. Unfortunately, a lot of details are hidden once it is put together. I took a couple of WIP shots to show. Many photo etched parts come with it, as well as engine wiring. Belkits did a good job with it. Maybe next time I'll open up the back so the engine can see the light of day.

Cool looking car Doug and you have done a great job with it.  The beauty is in the details and you nailed it.

A very nice model build. Belkits have made a good kit and Doug has made a really good job of it with his detailing.

Superb, I'm building this at the moment. Yes we do cover up a lot of work we have completed. As we are in the UK cigarette advertising is banned so the word 'Racing' replaces 'Rothmans' whose UK HQ was only 20 miles away! 

As a 77 year old your detailing is far better than mine, well done! Do you build and attempt to fit the night lamps at all?

Hi. Replied to your DM re night lamps. I found aftermarket decals for the Rothman logos - even though 'Racing' may be correct for the UK version. I hear you about the age - I'm not too far behind you in that regard. And I'm not sure why I keep collecting kits, because based on my run rate, I'll never finish them all!

AH Doug, due to the high price of kits here in the UK, I only buy to build them, I think I only have under ten on the shelves in my garden cabin.
