Smoke not uniform

Oh! Sorry we have KW here so HP isn't a familiar term! I guess you'll enjoy the Fiat 500 I just completed and the 695SS I'll start one day.

Will start work next year. I know this isn't the right forum but if anyone is keen to follow the progress let me know. It will take me a long time though!

It is going to be stripped to bare metal and reprayed. The colour is very dull and it has a few layers of DIY paint which don't look good at all!

Here are some progress pics. The Smoke was a disaster but I'll have to live with it. The wheels look too small. I think I'm going to take the chrome off and paint them silver to look more realistic. I also have some touching up to do. I should have it finished tonight. I'll stay far away from Smoke in future!.

The Messerschmidt is almost done. Didn't get any pictures though. I started the BMW Isetta. Progress pics will follow. You have no idea how small these cars are until you pick up another 1/24 kit of 'normal' size car!!

my dad owned a messerschmidt when he was about 16...that kit looks fantastic, and really fiddly. looking good

Thanks Skoda. Fiddly is an understatement!

I have the Hi-Tech version of this kit, can't wait to get started on it now.

Wow! You're in Joburg. Surprised to see someone from down there posting. Good luck with the Fulvia - fantastic climate to look after those old cars, and some great bodyshops to help out with the painting if you need it.

Where did you get that kit? Esswex? I used to go there when I lived down there, and know they have a load of them in stock, probably a good price too. People who want the kits can probably get them to ship them over too.

Hi BWheel! Where you based now? You are correct, the kit is from Esswex. I got the last one! I can't find them anywhere else. I've taken most of there 'rare' kits so they only have the standard stuff lately. About those body shops here, who do you recommend?
