Bentley Speed 8 2003

1/24 Le Mans miniatures kit.

Finished at a few months ago. My first resin, and my first real dealings with PE parts. I can honestly say, that this was the most challenging bulid ever. Unfortunatley, Iv'e been spioled with Tamiya kits, so, i never even thought about test fitting first! In the end though, the kit turned out well, and i'm almost happy with the 120 dollars I spent on it!

I'm going to have to say that is a fantastic build. You did a damn fine job for your first time with p.e. and resin. Beautiful build of a very cool car.

You got that right, it is a beautiful build.

Great job you did :thumbsup:

The "test fit" lesson, once learned, is never forgotten (just ignored sometimes ;) )

Damn! I didn't know until know that there is a Bentley kit out there - now I have to get one :banghead:

Looks really good,great effort for your first resin kit and a really nice paint finish.

You conquered it!

BEAU-TI-FUL. One of the most beautiful lemans cars ever and you did it justice. I love it.

Great model and very nice building too!
The bad news is that I will have to get one... Visa will love it!

Wow! You've done a great job on that and looks cool...but is it possible you could show it off better with some outdoor pics? (The pics are a bit dark to see it fully)

Great model, looks really good.
The kit would please me also much, is however too expensive me.

Very nice build! I love this car so much, my favourite racing car. :)

I'm a Corvette guy, and I'm a Ferrari guy, but the Bently Speed 8 is my all-time favorite race car, and you did it justice with this build. Awesome work!

Hehe... your first paragraph sounds EXACTLY like mine when I posted the results of my first resin kit. I think we had almost an identical experience!

You've done a brilliant job on what looks to be a great kit - well done!

Excellent work. An all time favourite of mine.

Nice build.
