Ruddy cheek!

It's a Sports Hatch, one of the rarest Vauxhalls ever, they only made 197 of them, and mine was the 18th one off the line. I'd leave a BMW 323i for DUST in its time, and I drove it for over 100000 miles. Sadly a massive tree fell on it in its garage and demolished it totally, the body was about 18" high when they dragged it out. :(

And it's got NOTHING to do with a Chevette, apart from the fact that both were made by Vauxhall, and both were styled by the same genius, Mr. Wayne Cherry.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I don't mind them for airbrushing (though I haven't for years), but I never have been able to get them brush worth a d*mn.
Though the Juniors group had no issues... go figure.

I first thought the Chevelle was a Falcon, shame on me - wrong Marque... Must Do Better! :banghead:

No, it's a Viva with a bigger donk.   :mellow:


I sanded back the surfboard AGAIN and repainted it with Vallejo Acrylic.  This went on a treat although it'll need more coats.  Cork Brown with a touch of Pale Flesh is close to Wooden Deck Tan BTW.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
