charger74 Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Finished this little sunbeam Tiger yesterday. Its not AMT’s best kit, but its not the worse!!!! Paint and clear is tamiya spray cans. I think it came out pretty nice. Thanks for looking 22
Cosmic D Posted September 7 Posted September 7 One of my favorite subjects - I like the detail work on the dash. 2
Jim B Posted September 7 Posted September 7 That's pretty neat! Well done. Looks like it's about the size of a MG or Triumph, so it probably doesn't take up much shelf space. 1
espo Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Beautiful looking paint finish and the perfect color. Clean looking body trim. 1

Rich Chernosky Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Don't think "pretty nice" really covers this build. Its more like fantastic. I owned one of these cars and have this kit done so I can well appreciate this model.

peter31a Posted September 9 Posted September 9 My uncle had one when I was a kid! Great little car. You did a beautiful clean build of this little Tiger.
Brudda Posted September 9 Posted September 9 I have this amt kit and the kit is a little dated. But you made it really nice. Great job.
iwantmodels Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Nice build. I remember these cars from a few old movies in the sixties.
Ragtop Man Posted September 10 Posted September 10 My neighbor restored a 1:1 Alpine for his daughter's 16th birthday backinnaday. IIRC he found a Tiger (!) parts car that was a worn out SCCA racer for parts... thought the V8 was no bueno, he loved the little high winding engines. 1

Spex84 Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Great job; I like the Quebec plates on it! I was cruising Kijiji recently and found some Alpines for sale, but I don't often see Tigers....so I guess a 1/25 version fills the gap!
michelle Posted September 10 Posted September 10 very cool you don't see these built that often and also do not see the real ones on the road that ofter either
Kah puts Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Bully for you, you managed to find one that wasn’t warped. Absolutely top drawer build. I also owned one of these Cobra’s with wind up windows, just a blast to drive. I sold mine for a down payment on a home, cried like a baby all the way to the bank, still miss it 👍
