BozzerBack in the late 80's, early 90's I had a red vauxhall chevette, exactly like that body shape. The engine was nothing like that though! It was a 1274cc and a lump of useless metal. The only car, that I carried a spare cylinder head and carburettor around in, because it let me down so much! It never wheel span, it just lunged to a start. However, it got us by, almost, at the time. The best place for it, was the scrapyard, and that's where it went, when I got my first ever, MK3 ford escort. Now that's another story 😉

Christian WHow cool is that! Totally the 1980s 😄 This antenna, the wide package, rims, tires .. So cool. Thank you for showing! I love those old kits.

Kenneth GiffordThanks all. Just a curious question here. I don't have the most steady of hands so some trim lines end up being a little wobbly, like can be seen in my interior picture. Anybody have any tricks to get good lines when painting multi color trim?

BozzerDefinitely! Drink beer and in large quantities. It won't improve your painting, but it makes your pictures blurry and nobody can see your mistakes! 😛
