Hi - here's my latest completed project - a Revell SS100 Jag in 1/16.
The basic kit is old and a bit toy-like so this has been modified quite a bit.
Apart from the wheels which I have spoked I've added the stoneguards and 32 rivets on each wing that supported a strengthening plate. I also scratchbuilt the screen and dash - the instrument bezels are machined as are the switch locking rings, the push-pull switches themselves are steel pins ground down. The floor has been flocked and the seats are leather, the tonneau and hood are made from an old cotton sheet soaked in a mixture of black acryllic and white glue. I've also altered the doors and fitted them with brass hinges.
Hope you like her -
Cheers - Martin
