Hi Thomas I think the interior colour is spot on, black would have totally lost the interior when the body was mounted and those wire whelels came out very well, but then I knew they would because I've seen another build of this kit and he did the same thing and they looked great. Best wishes Vic.
Thank you - I only like to do a black interior if it is based on a real car which had that. I'm not sure my colour choices are 100% accurate but I'm happy with it.
Nice work. I almost never do a black interior, even when the kit asks for it. Even if I know the car only came with a black interior I still do something else. If you do black you will never see anything inside the car.
I bought some after market wheels and then decided the kit wheels were too masterfully molded to pass them up...best I have ever seen in any kit. I ended up using them on a Fujimi, I believe it was, Ferrari GTO. Cheers Robert! Cork
As you describe the channel as 'Build on a Budget', I think that you are right to stick with the wheels supplied, though I feel that after-market items would probably look even better for people with deeper pockets. I like the interior colour very much, but I'm not convinced by the black on the dashboard: it looks too glossy on the video, but perhaps appears better in life. As a matter of interest, do you watch the UA-cam videos of A4 Garage ? The poster of that channel has a very different approach, but his work is simply mind-blowing. This is not to be in any way critical of your excellent building - as I said, it's a different approach and could be intimidating for mere mortals like me, but I just marvel at the results he achieves. Thanks and best wishes.
Thanks, George. I have seen some very good 3D printed wheels but I wanted to show that the kit ones actually can look pretty good if you paint then right. As for the dash, I looked at several real cars at motor museums and I felt the colours were ok - ua-cam.com/video/7K3FFulaSIc/v-deo.html you can see some here. I was actually one of A4 Garage's first subscribers and I think his stuff is amazing. I'd not be able to build like that though - I don't have the patience, equipment or skill! 😅
@@BOABModels Thanks for the response. I think that your skill level is extremely high: A4 Garage is great, but doing a different job. Just for clarity, I was not questioning the colour of the dash, just saying that in the videos it looked a little too glossy. I was referring to the dash top, and in the walkaround pictures it shows that, except for the racing example, the dash top was a moulding or had a vinyl type finish. Also as I acknowledged, the dash on your beautiful model may look a bit different 'in the flesh'. Regards.
Shame on Revell, some incorrect details: hydraulic reservoirs should be on rhs bulkhead for RHD car; handbrake lever should be on left side of console for all models; exhaust manifold down pipes should point vertically down, not angled back.
No problem, having recently completed a real E-type rebuild certain details just stand out. I'm sure you can adapt the reservoirs to fit on the rhs bulkhead. Many pictures available on the internet.
@@Allrand319 oh wow! That must have been interesting. I have now finished building this kit (two more videos coming soon.) But I may build the convertible version some day too.
Great job so far! I'm really impressed by this kit, and the wheels turned out way way better than I was expecting.
Thanks, Gustavo. I agree the wheels turned out well. Aftermarket wire wheels are expensive so I'm glad I didn't need any.
@@BOABModels yeah agreed, so surprised how much of a difference the panel line accent made to those wheels! amazing
Thank you. I agree and panel line accent was the only thing I added to them.
Wow 🤩 amazing 🆙💪👍
Thank you! 😁
Love the color of the interior I'm going to paint mine British green with a tan interior
Very good job !!Good choice and Beautiful ...A+
Many thanks 😁👍
That car looks wonderful. That is a very detailed kit. Revell didn't forget anything with this one.
Many thanks - yeah, I'm tempted to get the convertible too.
Nice Work!!! Love the pop up facts you did. Great video!!! I'll be watching
Cheers Mike. I'm glad you liked the 'Did you know' bits!
Thank you very much for the injury warning! Some may think this is something very minor, and for some it's very triggering.
You're welcome - I totally agree. Happily it has fully healed by now! 😁
You're welcome - I totally agree. Happily it has fully healed by now! 😁
You're welcome - I totally agree. Happily it has fully healed by now! 😁
Really like this Build! Also the little video Insert s are very informative thank you!
Thanks a lot Shaun. Yeah, I like to add a little history or random facts to my video!
5.54, those clips you're referring to are to lock the bonnet down, one on each side.
Thanks a lot, Marc. I appreciate your knowledge.
Great video man and thanks for info in some minutes 👏🏻👏🏻💐💐👍🏻
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Looks great so far. Rick 🤓✌️
Thanks a lot Rick.

Very cool Thomas and I'd use the wheels!
Thanks Shawn. Do you think you will get this kit or maybe the convertible?
Nice!!!!!!!
Thank you Tim!
Looking good. I like the choice of interior color and the wheels came out great.
Thanks a lot! Many people didn't like how Revell made these wheels but I think they turned out well
Beautiful model, the wheels are cool.
Thank you very much.
What do you think of the kit wheels?
Nice wheel details
@@Allrand319 thank you!
Nice work. I almost never do a black interior, even when the kit asks for it. Even if I know the car only came with a black interior I still do something else. If you do black you will never see anything inside the car.
Cheers Justin. Yeah, that was definitely my thinking here. It has big windows too so hopefully it will be pretty light.
I think your wheels look very nice. I won’t be buying the aftermarket ones.
Thanks Robert. I like how they turned out too.

Yeah, I think these ones can look very good with the right treatment.

These things do happen. I wonder if they will be corrected in later instructions? If I'd known about the hand brake I could have fixed that! Oh well!
No problem, having recently completed a real E-type rebuild certain details just stand out. I'm sure you can adapt the reservoirs to fit on the rhs bulkhead. Many pictures available on the internet.

Are there any true original RHD model kits out there? The only one I've seen close to original is Revells Routemaster.
Most Japanese kits come in RHD by default
