Double Triumphs...a TR2 and a TR3

[traditional]

These two '50s Triumph sportscars.......a '56 TR2 and a '57 TR3 are both built from vintage Gunze Sangyo plastic kits that include some

photo-etch parts such as wire wheels, dash cluster, steering wheel spokes, Triumph badges, and a rather strange PE 'fold-up and bend' sheet metal chassis.

The plastic bodies are simple (no opening features) but well molded and proportioned and I find these kits are quite satisfying visually.

I've used custom mixed basecoat/clearcoat paint, with Humbrol, Testors, and Tamiya used for small details.

I added foil to the rear fender 'spats' and also to the upper fender trim as used on a TR3.

Great to see two together here .. they look fantastic! I keep staring at the 2 TR3's I have for parts building a TR4A I owned, but I MUST be able to get a 3 out of what's left!

Nice! Love those old Triumphs.

[John Goschke]

Outstanding builds! The TR-3 with those wire wheels is especially realistic looking.

TRiffic job Clifford, nice to see some one else likes the old sidescreen TR's. Love the photo etched wires on the 3, must look out for a set for my 3A I have yet to build

Very nice builds. I just received the TR2 that I won off ebay. Nice kit.

Both very nice, but I love the red one! Must be the inset grille and the steel wheels.
