1/43 frp model

over 2 years in and still not finished!!!!!

took almost a year to the day for the jempy s1600 base model to arrive (£50 kit, £135 built i think) comes painted

repainted imperial blue (left over matched paint from real frp)

has no interior so i bought a red minichamps model off ebay (£15)
but used the s1600 seats as there very close to sparco seats, used the s1600 wheel as i am swapping mine soon

the floorpan of both wasnt upto my standard so stripped a minichamps puma cup car for the metal base which is more detailed (£30)

all the interior is painted down to the edging of the floor mats!

exterior detail goes as far as painting the weather seals on the headlights!

have mixed & matched loads of parts to get the best detail. only thing i am unhappy about is the rear lights. minichamps are much more detailed but wont fit so will have to use jempy decals....and its still left hand drive....nm

so far....

needs my wheels sourcing (toyota corrolla rally seems a good match) and minor finishing; ie a few decals etc....

10/10 for effort!

Yours look fine to me mate! Bit of silver paint and they'll be top banana!

I'll PM you my address

what! you want them painting too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I 'suppose' I can do that bit - got plenty of moondust paint..lol

I'll have to paint the under numberplate bit as well anyway to match my banger

lol. my corolla turned up! wheels are preped with alcon calipers and etched discs fitted, will go on 2mrw

guess what iv got spare..............?!

2 sparco rally seats that look just like frp seats!!!!! u want? can paint up in no time....originals need careful grinding from the interior base with a dremel....

sent you the wheels today; painted etc. be careful tho; hand cast resin & there silly fragile, included a spare just in case

Can't wait to get them!

Don't send me the FRP seats though as I don't have them in my car. Wait until someone wants to make an FRP replica. I'd only not use them.

Thanks though!

what you doing with the frp seats then!!!!!!!???
