Heller 1/43 Renault 5 Turbo

Not long indeed James !

Firstly have to apologise for not being a very active member of this GB, it started well but I'll admit to losing interest in this build, I guess that cars don't really do it for me on the modelling front, probably because of the access I get to them in real life, being a motorsport marshal means I play with racers most weekends , whereas planes I don't get to interact with very often, hence why I model them more frequently.

Very nearly there with the little Renault now, just a few little touch-ups to go. Apologies for the less than stellar photo's, I've reverted to the spare camera whilst the mains batteries charge up. Better ones will follow tomorrow evening:

Nice work Tom.

Well I'm calling this done, not my very best work but actually I'm not disappointed with how it's turned out these little Heller kits are very nice to build and sufficiently detailed to the eye for the scale.

Well done Tom, looks like a nice little runner. I agree these Heller kits are very nice. I had a quick look but couldn't find a list. 1/43 though an odd scale for most of us is very popular with people who collect small scale diecasts and there are a lot of cottage industry kits available such as Marsh Models extensive range of racing cars. A little digging showed that 1/43 is the equivalent of model trains O scale which explains it's origin.
