Love how you step us through your method of madness in restoring the details! Looking forward to seeing this gem all done up after the long wait on the shelf! 😀

Good work V. I believe it was the first British car to be built using metric measurements, but I could be wrong

Beautiful work! Love the musketeers - great touch! I can't believe the decals worked being so old, but glad they did!

Neuling and Mike, thank you for your kind words.
Mike, this was my first attempt at painting figures. I have been avoiding it and although the sculpting dates from 1964, the outcome is not too bad.

An allover wash can unify the colours a bit and soften the edges. And Mike has a point!

Absolutely stunning model. For some reason, the black wire wheels really set off the car. Makes it look so much more purposeful.

Richard and Stephan, thank you for the time taken to comment and your kind words.

Richard, yes I also love the larger scale cars. I am happy to hear that you found this build report helpful. Two aspects of the Mefistofele that is now on the bench that I find is taxing on me is the engine wiring (which I finished) and the drive chain (in process). The end result makes it worthwhile. Italeri's offerings are not "shake and bake" kits 🙂
