Old model comes home

Sorry guys- Forgot to comment when I put this in. Still in training. This is an old kit I built over 30 years ago. Lost track of it when I moved house soon after.Recently my brother in law gave me a box of old kits and it was in the box. Bit rough ( brush painted ), but I am not going to restore it, will just keep it as it is.

Ya getting there half right soon you be doing it with out me standing behind you with a big stick its came up alright for a 30 year oldie.

This looks pretty good as a, what, panel van? delivery?

Good job and it's survived well.

Seems you were getting the stance right even then. You showed your skills at an early age!!
I often see kits for sale that I use to have & wish I still did.
Thanks for posting it. Maybe others have some oldies from a time before airbrushes, rattle cans & bare metal foil?

Looks pretty good silverfox, not a bad effort for way back then.

Hey Brian ...tune in next Friday for Flashback Friday ...hopefully some good old dust bunnies will show up !!!

And for anyone else ...yes next Friday is the second Friday of the month so dust em off boys and girls and get happy snappin !!

...so that means you were 30 years younger too. Don't ya just hate that part...remembering when you built it and wishing you held up as well as this model has. Looks pretty fresh. Nice job.

Outstanding for a 30 year kit .

^Ditto, that looks amazing mate

Great surprise to find that, unfortunately I know where all my old models ended up.
Nice clean build, can't tell it's brushed.

That looks very good mate

Yes - 30 years ago I brushed the paint and combed my hair - the paint stayed on but my hair did not.

A perfect candidate for "Flashback Friday" IMO. Great to find something you've lost track of. In this case it's a damn good find - nice model.

I agree with everyone else. It still looks brilliant considering its years old.

I can just imagine walking into your local hobby shop and asking for 150 jars of paint
