Hi they do a 1/8 etype still in production i got this off ebay and have seen others on there, check well on eBay as I got this for 50 quid including postage and 4 listings down the same kit was 187 plus postage from the USA so have a good look before you buy Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all well ive cut the doors out and got some piano wire, so it looks like its going to have working doors (gulp) been downloading pics of the engine but they all serm to show one side or the have a mahoosive air filter on so i cant see where some pipes go so ive been guessing. Still no internet or phone and weve been informed it may be another fortnight(got to get permisdion to shut the road, so on and so forth) anyway will post pics when i can, dont know when thats likely to be. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Good start Ken, I have this one in my stash too but I think I'll be looking for a new home for her, too many 1/8 kits, not enough storage...

Hi all another update, got some primer on (its halfords plastic primer) Ive used it loads of times and never had this reaction before  It's on both the doors (which were part of the body till I cut them out, so all the same plastic and yet the car body seems unaffected  Seems strange will strip the doors and re spray them, hopefully that will correct it. Ken's the name modeling's the game.
