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"..
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).
This kit has even glue included, still sealed in a plastic bag together with the body
Decals seems to be in good shape
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.

Wow, one of my all time favourite cars!
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.
My uncle had a hardtop MGB - again, a wonderful car.
Cheers,
Stuart

That’s the sort of roadsters I remember!

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