Fisher Model And Pattern Kits

[droogie]

Has anyone built either the Fisher Model and Pattern Cunningham C4R or Jaguar D type kits. If so, were there any issues? Can anyone recommend a paint match for the blue stripes on the Cunningham?

A friend built the Cunningham & loved building it; he had to adjust the front ride height. Not sure what he used to match the blue stripe color. It came out very nice.

I built the D Type, nice simple kit. Make sure where the upper/lower part of the body mate that it's a good join; if there is any mismatch, fix it before you paint.

Cutting/fitting the windscreen is the hardest thing on the D-type. I built it during the 24 hours of LeMans, we start with primed/cleaned bodies & go from there.

Thanks for the responses. The Jag looks great. What paint did you use for the BRG? How tough was it to mask that white ring around the nose intake? I have built models for 40 plus years, but have not built a car model since the 1960s. I like the 50s sports cars. I decided to start with the Fisher kits because they look fairly straight forward and not too fiddly.

Thanks! Paint is Tamiya TS-9 British Green, I primed body in white & painted the nose gloss white & masked it off to shoot the green (masking was a bit haphazard, as the white was very poorly applied on the real race car, or it may have been tape).

HI:

I have the C4R and I love it.....an early resin attempt by me (one of my first) so I missed a few items. The only issue I had was getting the head rest on straight and tight.....it was "ME" NOT the kit.......however, this car is still one of my favorites.....the pic is a bit dark and is before numbers and few other items but you get the idea......GREAT kit.......only one better is (was???) Quick Skins......

Regards
