And the finished product, wasn't too keen on the original fawn colour so I chose to spray it Vauxhall Parchment beige as I've seen real examples in a similar colour  



Corgi Kid





After opening her up I took the casting to work to clean off the paint and old decal. I had to buy a new screen and the two figures. I had a few other spares to complete the task.

Well, how do I do this........Gaz you have won Junes  competition   or should I say Spenny you have won, as it's now your car.

Well done to everyone again, the entries just get better.

Do we want another comp for this month, or maybe give it a break or a while?

Well done Gaz, and all others. No competition for me this month......
