Not sure what I'll be building yet but it'll probably be a Triumph, either a Herald or a TR4A.

I've decided to go upmarket, so I'll be building a 1/32. Aston Martin DB5.

It look like a really nice kit.
What colour do you have in mind?

I haven't decided yet but I'm thinking of a metallic grey with a dark red interior.

In case anyone was wondering what I've been doing, there has been some progress.

I've painted the interior and given the shell a rub down and a coat of primer.





I've got a week off work so I'll have to get some modelling done.

The bodyshell has been painted with Hu53 and given 5 coats ( so far ) of Klear.



I've also painted the underside with Revell Anthracite ( underseal ) and added the suspension.

Hi Paula, I've done some more work on it and it shold be finished before the end of the GB.

The chassis is complete, (the wire wheels were a swine to get looking good ).



I may have to give the seats a coat of matt varnish as they look a bit shiny. The bodyshell is almost complete too.



The instructions are a bit vague regarding where the dashboard fits so a bit of dry fitting may be required.
