A few pics of my E Type. I really enjoyed making this model.

All is as supplied; I painted the engine and did the three spoke crossover wire wheels.

Bonnet stripes rechromed. Thanks to Roy Matt Black for his top tip with the chroming pen.


I had some of the pen over so designed, painted and printed the name plate from scratch. It was more of a test than anything but looks pretty good in reality. I plan to redo it and tidy it up. If anyone wants the stl files to 3D print your own please let me know.

Many thanks to everyone for answering my questions. I know I can trust the quality and reliability of DeAgostini and am thinking hard what to do next.

Enjoy your modelling.

Alexander Khan aka Curly Kale.

Thank you Mark.

To be honest it's just the way it was supplied and needs a bit of a polish. 👍
