Produced in 1979 this kit I bought as an already started a few months ago. The instructions were yellowed instead of white, the decals had to have two coats of clear gloss enamel to save them and the kit had been started badly. It came in red plastic but the surface was bad so after research I painted it gloss white after three coats of white undercoat/matt, to stop the Red bleeding through. Although the white versions in the day had different markings I trimmed up the standard ones and kept my fingers crossed that they came out OK! You'll notice that I'm shaky round window rubbers and the front orange indicators (shaky hands). The original box art, although mine was damaged. As the steering was broken I used small alloy tubing to correct it.

G'day Pat... I know what you mean with shaky hands mate, I got 'em too! But hey, looks like you did a real good job on an old kit.
