Nice. What is your opinion on the kit? Fit of the parts? Are the paints any good? The kit hasn't arrived at my LMS so I have to wait.

After reading your kit review and build review I think it looks a fun quick build. When my LMS has stock I will buy one.

Looks a good little kit Ratch after looking at your review, and although i rarely build cars other than those I've owned (or at least driven) I may be tempted by this!

It's a cracking little beginner's kit for those not experienced in modelling motors. I'm sure you'll both enjoy it.

Looks great, Ratch and I've always preferred the E-Type as a fixed head coupe. Not being a dedicated car modeller, I didn't realise that Airfix had brought out a new tool of this famous car.
