The old Revell Austin Healey kit with many piece body and fiddly bits. Ditched the six and installed a Buick Nailhead that could pass for the lightweight small displacement clone used in later BMC offerings. Tamiya Semi Bright Gunmetal with red interior and Model Builder's Warehouse Borrani wire wheels. Build thread: drasticplastics.proboards.com/thread/6491/projects-revell-matchbox-austin-healey     Any and all comments welcome! jb |

The build came out excellent! The 215 looks perfectly normal in it. A Healy 3000 is still on my bucket list. Paul

Austin Healy's are neat little cars and yours is really sharp looking in silver ! I've seen a couple with SBC's shoehorned into them but it looks like the Buick is a much better fit . . . I like it !

Thank you folks, appreciate it! I looked at these photos and noticed the windscreen was kind of separated from the body at its base, so I tightened that up and it looks a lot better. Also attempted to fit the rear bumper but it didn't really fit very well so left it sans protection.

Very nice looking finished kit.
The last 2 pics of the interior and the other of the engine bay, really bring the model to life with the red contrasting the silver body.
Extremely well done.
