Santa,

That looks great!  I can't believe that it's a MPC kit.  Love the dark British racing green that you painted it.  BTW is that the "old" ESCI 1/9 scale Kettenkrad on your top shelf?

Love it.  I have the kit in my stash.  Reluctant to put it in the queue.  I figure it will be a major project.  How was the build?  Was it easy or a real time consumer?

good build-parts fit well.  diecals were too old and crumbled to piecess. the cromed fraim for that wire frame in front of the wind shields, was broken in several piecess and too worped to glue the piecess to the clear plastic.  working on a 1/16 testarossa now to clear the table so I can get back to the Le Solea Royal--as I had to waight for rigging thred to come in the mail.

That old MPC kit, a repop of the Airfix kit has been around since the 70's and is showing its age. Airfix have re issued it about 4 times since. There is a guy named Nick Edwards in the UK developing 3D transkits to improve it. Look on the Britmodeller website and search Bentley may contain Airfix. He has examples to see on there with his 3d cad renderings. His own sales site is named Unobtainium.
