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.

Re: Bentley Speed 8 2003

Great job you did

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

Re: Bentley Speed 8 2003

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.

Re: Bentley Speed 8 2003

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!

Re: Bentley Speed 8 2003

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!
