Heller Renault R8 Gordini

[Brudda]

Nothing to be ashamed about that. Beautiful build. We sometimes look at the Ferraris, cobras , etc but these so called lesser cars are pretty cool. When I was a kid I was fortunate to watch the trans am series in the late sixties and early seventies. I liked the mustangs , Camaros, cuda etc but the 2.5 cars were super fun to watch. And to drive these cars in real life are a fun time. Back then I was a lucky kid. I worked in a body shop and could afford a boss 302. $2300. But I saved up for a Datsun 510. Made it like a bre car and actually had more fun with that. Fast forward to today, I have a C6 corvette but I have a 1.5 liter 1985 crx si. I love to drive that si. It’s more fun to drive on the streets. Meaning the smaller and less expensive cars are great also. This is a great build so nothing to be ashamed about.

Maybe we should have a 2.5 liter and under category. That would be fun.

So if this is a bad looking model...
I would very much like to see your best one ; that should be more than outstanding in that case...👍

Thank you, Hans!  Honestly, I was disappointed with this Heller kit and with my efforts.  I think the fact that I was building it for someone else put extra pressure on me.  If you search out my other builds on here, you will see my other completed models.
