Not a kit, but I wish there was one: Solido Renault 14
Posted by Faust on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 4:16 PM
Sometimes the things I like are just so esoteric and awful that there simply isn’t a kit of a particular subject. I know, it seems weird, but it’s true. However, sometimes I get lucky, and there will be a pre-built replica of the object of my desire/dismay! This is most true when it comes to cars, and particularly European cars!
 
 
One perfect example of an unsurprisingly unkitted subject is the Renault 14. While Renault has made a lot of successful (in Europe, at least) cars, the pear-like 14 is not one of them. It’s ugly, weird and shockingly corpulent in the wrong places. Thankfully, French die-cast maker Solido did it’s patriotic best to bring this loser to life, and my version the Solido Cougar version, is the weird dime-store el-cheapo version.
 
 
Check out this almost Christmas-coloured abomination of automotive styling quality control at the link below. Just think; now you have something to ask Santa for! You’re welcome!

I must say, that's a new one on me...but it looks almost as though you might be able to do a conversion from my favorite 'automotive abomination,' the Ford Pinto. The lines look eerily...or disgustingly?... similar. Big Smile

Cheers
