Airfix 1/32 Vauxhall 2000 Estate (M302C)
« on: July 08, 2020, 05:59:04 PM »
My restoration of the Airfix 1/32 Vauxhall 2000 Estate (M302C). This was a battered second hand build bought off eBay, broke apart, paint stripped off and rebuilt. I cleaned up the windows the best I could but they were so fragile that I was worried I would do permanent damage to them. Kit headlamps were replaced by rhinestones.

Looks good, Dave! :smiley:

Could, maybe, do with some road grime on the body to go with the slightly "dusty" windows. ;)

Thanks. That is a good idea about the grime. Perhaps put some rally car stickers on it and throw some dirt over it!

Does this one come with heated steering wheel ?

Nice work Dave, both kits and cars are now classics

Thanks.

Not sure about the heated steering wheel. My Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport has one though. Very handy during the Scottish winters - and even summers sometimes!

Rally car sounds interesting.
Nice rescue of an old kit.
