One of my true favorite cars. I have a nice 1/43, but that didn't deter me from adding this 1/25. Not the best of kits. Engine and chassis OK but from there on major issues with parts fits. This is a 90s upgrade of a much earlier kit where the wheels were just plain plastic one piece. Nice chrome wires but the tyres were so fat they protruded out about 50% from the well edge, so I needed to cut the axles back as no original photos showed wide tyres. It looked like Revell had a few spare over from another venture and just threw them in as an 'upgrade'.

Great build! Love your color choices!

Love the car and the colour, Geoff. It is too bad that the kit itself was well below expectations. You did well to complete it.

thanks gents. Such a shame about the wheels, displayed side on they are not so noticeable. Appreciate your kind comments.

Geoff, that's a cool little car to have in your collection. Your build looks really nice. I'm somewhat familiar with these cars as my brother-in-law and I did a nuts-and-bolts restoration on a 1958 100-6 BN4 from 1987 to 1991. Formerly red/red now it's BRG/black. I've been storing it now for 25 years. He's been too busy to get it back on the road. I snapped a couple of pics of it today.

@pete-rovero what an outstanding outcome of a wonderful project. Love the car Pete. Still see the odd restoration here in Australia and this was a highlight of a visit to the Tasmanian Car Museum a couple of years ago.

- @geoff-jowett After seeing your pics of the A-H in the museum I can understand why you painted your model the light metallic blue. It’s stunning! I’ve seen a few with the two-tone paint, and I like the way they look, depending on the colors of course. Thanks for the pics.
