Type

Austin Healey 3000

Comments

Nice model, except for the windscreen frame, much too thick and the grille not very nice. Headlights inserted, lights (indicators, rear position) moulded unpainted. The spoke wheels, although grey and non-metallic, are quite nice.

Modifications

Rear lights painted red.
