From Amazon, OT. I don't have the model shop name to hand, I'll put it up when I get home tonight.
I'm going to be converting this to a 2 door soft top.

Making progress....
Old 4-door lines filled and new 2-door ones etched. Some filler on to extend the bodywork at the rear to convertible shape. Still to be sanded down once hardened.
