Look what turned up recently

Postby Nicolas_Fantich » Sun Jul 12, 2015 5:00 pm

Partnered with a mate who shall become the eventual owner, our 'syndicate' managed to secure this much hallowed masterpiece of a resin kit. ;)

Despite what the box top shows, the necessary markings for 'Grosvenor House' (the 'red one' for you non aerosexuals') are provided. Which pleased the other syndicate member (and me) to no end 8-)

I wonder how many of the 150 produced have been built ? Or ever will be ? The kit comes with a nicely printed Certificate of Authenticity, numbered and all. Mine is a pretty early 'series' item. Must have been in someone's stash for a long time.

Eric G certainly did a fabulous job on his recent build. ;)

Well done! It will be great to see another one of these masterpieces finished on our shores. Looking forward to seeing you start this project. I have the Mew Gull to build one day - when I'm happy enough with my ability to do a decent white paint job on it.

Cheers and good luck with the build!

Good to see another one Nicolas.

I know of another one that is built and in a mates display cabinet so that makes it at least 2 built in Australia, plus another mate has one in his stash.

Have fun with it as a great result can be had with a few strokes of ones hobby knife.

Eric.

Any news on when this will be re-released ????
I really would love one to go along with my 1:32 "Voodoo" and "Red Baron" racing Mustangs.
