1:35 MiniArt Cabriolet B ( German car type 170V)
« on: July 13, 2020, 10:51:38 AM »
Here are photos of the box art and the contents before and after unpacking.
The moulding looks good and the parts are well packed and presented.
This is essentially a Mercedes.
I thought it would fit on Coble Landing as some posh person visiting the seaside, or the works manager perhaps.

Don't like the look of the bloke with the hat on, looks a bit suspicious to me, could be a foreign spy.

He looks a bit like someone who'd sit at the back in a Model Club!!!
Are you going to print your own number plates or do you have some in the spares box? Did Bridlington, if you're setting it (fictitiously) there have it's own registration code, as in HE for Barnsley?

Hi Chris,
I'm always astounded by the depth of knowledge amongst our members.
Do you know the six numbers on Saturday???
I want to be able to model, without the interference of work!
Hopefully,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

I remembered after that Scarborough was/is AT. some would put ** before that!!! Sorry Kev can't do the numbers for you, the Reg thing was a blast from my youth when there were fewer cars. And no Martin they didn't have red flags!!!
