Digging through my stash in the garage I pulled out another 1/8 Revell E Type I picked up a few years ago.

I've built a good few roadster race cars but not many coupe's.
A bit of Googling and lo and behold - Cunningham had one back in the '60's.

Off we go then.BigGrin BigGrin BigGrin

Back on this one for a while now.

A lot of the engine is sorted and I've added the missing bits from the front firewall and engine frame.

The upper body is prepped and it's all in white primer at present.
The inside of the body is now satin black, hence all the masking tape.

Once it's all in gloss white the tape will come off so I can add the windows and inner rear shelf.

Then the rear underside will be added, before I start work on the interior.

I've altered the front engine frame.
Goodness knows how/why I did it the way I did, but the angled frames were in the wrong place.
I've built umpteen E Types so I should know how to do it with my eyes shut!
Anyway, now sorted...LOL LOL LOL
