Re: Austin Healy Sprite mk1

Thanks for the comments guys. Yep it is the plain plastic kit in 1/24. But the model is smaller than most 1/24 because the car in real life is small. Most of the ref pics I have have the jack insert as matt black so i did it the same as the chassis and then stuck a small PE bolt on the end. I think it looks good.
The body also has a horrible seam that runs along the wheel arches. Some real cars have it, but it is molded badly and would be a real pain when painting and polishing so I got rid of it.
