I really didn't think the paint that comes with the kit (196 Light Grey) was the right colour, so I overpainted it with a darker grey instead, and I think it looks much better, or it will after another coat...

I know the lights are actually lower down, but they are so small I decided to pretend the black clusters over the number plate and badge were lights instead...

When I first ordered this kit, I hoped I would be confident enough to have a go at weathering it, as it seemed a perfect choice. In fact I have tried a while back with a bit of smoke on a Spitfire, but this is the first 'real' attempt I've made. I know it looks a little hammy, but overall I am pretty happy with this...

This one, I presume, Michael:
Land Rover Series 1 Pick-Up (Airfix A55012, 1:43)
(I am waiting impatiently when it will reach my LHS...)

It is the Starter Set Land Rover, yep!

The design of this kit is so good, it's one of the best of the new starter kits I think. The only disappointment is that the 196 Light Grey is not dark enough, and I don't even think it's grey (my wife thinks I'm colour blind). It looks more like Old English White to me. Great to build though, and I#m not even sure any of the clear parts actually need glue at all...

Very nice progress on this very iconic subject.
