This the Aoshima MGB kit built using the C1 Models resin trans kit . Basically built out of the box , only things added are the license plate and a rubber gasket under the fuel cap . It's painted Tamiya Brilliant Orange , it's a daily driver so no show room shine . Only thing I missed was the right side wiper should have been moved inward 1/4 inch , didn't notice that until it was too late . Thanks for looking , all comments welcome .

Takes me back, I owned a MGBGT back in the Eighties, mine was Blaze Orange!

I like the way you did the rubber seals around the front and back glass. Nice job Bob!

Dig the Florida plate. Thanks for the WIP, I've been wanting to try that Detail Tack. Jim

Thanks much Mike ! I've always wanted to try replicating the rubber gasket and molding but have never built anything that had them until now . Worked out pretty good but those rounded corners in back were a bit tricky .

Thanks Jim ! I've been using Detail Tack for many years now and would be lost without it ! it works just like normal contact cement , apply to one side and it can be removed , both sides and it has a stronger bond but can still be removed . I've actually started using it more for final assembly of some parts , especially for windows and other trim that is glued to the painted body .

jbwelda: Thanks again Tom, funny thing is, this current IP also resolves to an Amazon address but seems to work just fine. jb May 29, 2023 15:06:36 GMT -5

HotRodTom: qu.2

It's an interweb thing..... May 29, 2023 19:46:30 GMT -5

jbwelda: ha ha happened again...this is getting really tedious. now i am in canada and working well Jun 14, 2023 11:22:48 GMT -5

jbwelda: wow like three whole people logged on yesterday...I feel like a rat on a sinking ship! Oct 8, 2023 11:34:03 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: nice Bonneville up top! hey all, I still am around but struggling to get my hobby hands back, mainly no way to paint right now Jan 16, 2024 22:48:31 GMT -5

jbwelda: NNL West is today, anyone going? Its going to be crazy around there what with the footsball game next door. First time in a while I am avoiding it but hope someone posts some photos. Jan 20, 2024 12:51:40 GMT -5

jbwelda: heard it was announced that next year will be the last NNL West. Another one bites the dust. Jan 22, 2024 13:59:15 GMT -5

jbwelda: yo Mar 19, 2024 13:07:33 GMT -5

jbwelda: looks like visits here are dwindling rapidly...wonder why that would be? May 4, 2024 22:19:40 GMT -5

Spike: What's happening out there? I seems that fewer and fewer members of this forum are building model cars, or are they still being built but not being shared? Jul 8, 2024 13:46:43 GMT -5

jbwelda: well speaking for myself there are a number of reasons I haven't been participating lately, the most likely one is that I generally do not build much during the summer months. Too many other things to occupy my time. Jul 10, 2024 11:36:30 GMT -5

jbwelda: Second, this past year I have been spending time in Jamaica a lot, I have a winter place there I have shared for years now and try to spend at least a few months there a year. I have few or no model supplies there and other things to smoke, uh, do there. Jul 10, 2024 11:37:48 GMT -5

jbwelda: Third, there really has been very little in the way of models newly released that do much for me. All this reissue sixties junk the USA companies push out I have very little interest in. Euro car kits have been pretty sparse the last couple years. Jul 10, 2024 11:39:17 GMT -5

jbwelda: And mail order is getting more expensive. So mostly I have been sitting on the sidelines, but come autumn, I will probably get back into it. I have a few projects I need to finish up. Just a matter of motivation. Jul 10, 2024 11:41:43 GMT -5

jbwelda: I realize many more people here are much more involved than I have been but I too have noticed the huge drop off in participation by those who seem mostly to just look and not build, or at least not post builds here. Jul 10, 2024 11:42:46 GMT -5

Spike: I don't mean to criticize, I just want to see more models. Jul 12, 2024 15:18:22 GMT -5

jbwelda: site seems to have some problems, when i log in from the USA, i get a msg about the site not being available; when i change my vpn to Canada, it comes right up...for instance i am right now "in" Canada. Might want to look into that and yeah, I do know what Jul 15, 2024 19:06:25 GMT -5

jbwelda: I am doing. Might be my computer or the continuing problem with my isp evidently being somehow banned somehow, see messages above. Jul 15, 2024 19:06:59 GMT -5
