Global Scale Modeller

This kit is a full resin kit from France the company are from Le Mans France.

On opening the sturdy card board box you see the instructions and below it lots of mellow yellow cast parts in resin placed in three bags but the single cast body is what your eyes are drawn too. Next comes two bags containing the metal rims and tyres. Four etch sheets are provided, one with car parts the other having the wire wheel system used. Another bag contains the wind screen and special parts. The decals are in a bag taped to the box lid.

The instructions are some of the best I have seen for this type of kit .One giving tips /hints on the build the other being the exploded view type system but this will need careful study as you have the option to build two cars.

The Rossi Red from Zero is a bit to modern for the car so it looks like the maroon will be the color used.

Hi Boab

Thanks for looking in and your comments.Resin can be a bit different from normal builds as you will need to wear a mask to protect yourself from the dust also a good liquid putty is needed to fill any pin holes but nothing to serious. I have included a link to the shop where I bought from. :-

Thanks Hawkmoon.

My cousin paints miniatures like Warhammer and he said that using resin was quite different and a bit of a challenge. I had no idea about the particles.
I'll definitely check that website!

This looks a very nice kit Andy and I'm sure you will do it great justice. I think it will look better, more nostalgic, in the maroon rather than the Rosso red. Will be watching your build with interest!

P.S. - There's some nice kits on that website and at very reasonable prices too.

Good luck and all the best,

Kev.

Looking forward to this one

Hi,
