This is a resin body by Jaymar, bonnet grille and headlights had to b replaced, tailgate needed lotsa work to look right, this was one of my early attempts at a resin kit, the windows were cast in place with clear resin.

Well done - I know these resin bodies aren't easy to work with. I'm still having trouble seeing all of the model - the right side is partly missing. When you load them can you set the upload to no more than 800 pixels wide please. Your picture is 1024 pixels wide.

There not resin Tezza, if its an old Jaymar one it'd be fibreglass which isn't just difficult to work with they're just about impossible! Shocked Horrible thin, flimsy crap! So to get a result like that you've excelled DV8! Very Happy Those special badges on the guard are huge! A mate of mine bought an EH wagon body about 15 years ago, still dont think he's started it! Very Happy

Yeah I remember having a 1:32 scale slot car body of a Mercedes that was made of fibreglass. I kept getting bits of it stuck in my fingers - like splinters - whenever I tried to cut and sand it. Glad those days are over. I agree an excellent result dv8.
