Aoshima 1/24 MG-B Mk I - 1967

Post by KSaarni »

Following the "boom" with automobile builds on SPAM...

Stuart with his Triumph
Bruce with his Porsche RS 60
Jeeves with this review build of the Jaguar
And of course Joe with a number of car builds ongoing....
and many more.....

I am intrigued, curious and excited to also build a car. The last car I built was 34 years ago! I found it only couple of years ago at my parents place. It had been in the cellar for years, not too dusty.. I could not take it and 50 other old builds with me back to Belgium, so I had to "let it go"..
Image


That was then and now is now!
So, here is my take Aoshimas MG-B Mark I from year 1967

I found this kit more than a year ago, in a sort of a second hand shop. Price was pretty "ok", only 2.5 € (roughly 3 dollars).
Image


This kit has even glue included, still sealed in a plastic bag together with the body
Image


Decals seems to be in good shape
Image


And the price was really nice!

Let's now see when I can start seriously with this build, just want to close the fuselage of the Fw-190 before jumping on this subject!

First need to research a little bit how to start building a car, following builds here and so on... Not rushing, sharing time for both the Focke-Wulf as the MG.

Looks to be a nice kit - I really like the glue!

Another car?! Don’t you guys know that the A in SPAM stands for Armor and not Aircraft or Autos.

Nice Bruce,

My Dad had a Miget, not an MGB Roadster - Lovely car, I wish I'd managed to get my hands on it.

Image

My uncle had a hardtop MGB - again, a wonderful car.

Image

Cheers,

Stuart

That’s the sort of roadsters I remember!

Heh... I wanted this one as my first car as a senior in high school (Class of '83) :

1979 Triumph TR7

Now that is an interesting ad for the MG. Never seen that one before. Clever advertisement at its best.
