Well in the end there wasn't time to get the kit I wanted from overseas so I had to plump for the nasty little, old, 1/32 Airfix kit. It arrived yesterday and I had to give it to him today! What you might call a rush job!
The kit was HORRIBLE. Nothing fit. Plastic was full of sink marks and flash and was seriously warped in places. No time to do a proper job on it so I just threw it together it in a day and bought a little die-cast vehicle, chucked it away and kept the case so at least the little Frogeye was presentable!
Luckily, my friend was overjoyed with his gift as he thinks it is exactly like his real car! I must say, I did fall in love with it somewhat, so taxtp, I hope you'll have a go at your Gunze Sprite and give it the attention I wasn't able to on my Airfix Sprite.
Vallejo acrylics with an enamel pin wash. The tyres are darker than they appear in the photo. Sorry it's not up to the amazing standards you guys show here, but I'm new to this and I did just have one day to build it! ![Whistling [:-^]](/emoticons/icon_smile_whistling.gif)
