Just about done with this little fella.
1/35th Des kit.
It will be in the diorama/vignette with the bike.
My reference site told me that the bumpers were an option, so not sure if I should add them or not.
Out of the box-not a bad little kit for a resin kit. I added MV lenses to the headlights, I cut down a photo etched 1/24th scale windshied wiper and a 1/32nd scale photo etched rear view mirror.
I think the front grill could use another black wash also.
Base is just a generic small vehicle base I have laying around for photos, the vehicle isn't attached.

Very nice little car Dave!
I like the choice of colors very much.
I think bumpers would add some extra detail to the vehicle, so I would say; go for the bumpers!
What are MV lenses? They look good.

Thanks Paul
MV lenses are a railroading product over here.
Although I've never used them, I believe that Grief lenses are just about the same on your side of the pond.
One thing I have noticed is that a lot of my MV clear stash has started to change colors over the years, some turning slighly yellow, others a slightly pinkish. So I think instead of buying a dozen packs at a time, I'll restock with just 2 or 3. (I pick mine up at the LHS about 5 miles away so it is not a big deal for me getting them.)

Nice little cr. I do think the bumpers are optional. I kinda like it without them, it give it an 'older' look. You know pre-saftey everything.

What a wonderful little car. It's not very often we see civilian vehicles in 1/35. Gotta love this one.
