The model is absolutely tiny! and subsequently care needs to be taken when working with the very fine parts. A few ejector pin marks here and there are easy to deal with and within less than twelve hours it's almost ready to paint.

Tamiya 1/35th Simca 5 Staff Car
Well I just could not resist starting this model whilst I wait fro the Grizzly to dry off. What can I say? it's the usual Tamiya quality kit which just falls together. This is a real beauty of a kit especially if you are after a quick and easy build. The only additions I made where to replace the drivers head with a resin spare, replace the front number plate with a more in scale plastic card item and add some bolts to the bumpers. I will be adding some valves to the tyres with the aid of some fine brass rod though.

ReplyDeleteAre you going to make a scratchbuilt roof or are you going to use the one provided in the kit?

Cheers Thierry, It would be easy to scratch build the roof but I am going to go with the kit item on this one as it's just a fun build and nothing too serious
