Re: Eagle Weslake, 1/20, MFH

I have the metal die cast model of this car and yours is more detailed. The die cast paint is darker blue (seems like it might have some gray or black in it). I've seen the real one and can't remember if the color tends toward the 'blue' blue or the darker blue. I think it's somewhere in between but that's from memory.

I like the way you 'blued' the exhausts. On the die cast there is heat discoloration about half way between the collectors and the springs, then bluing up to and through the springs, then more heat discoloration out to the tips. On yours the bluing starts at the collectors then changes to discoloration halfway between the collectors and the springs. Again, I'm not looking at an exhaust pipe right now but I think yours looks more accurate.

Very nice job. That Eagle is fun to drive at Spa in GPL isn't it?
