Title: My Elite in miniature
Post by: cmeonthemove on 25 May 2010, 19:14:28
Here's my Elite in 1/43 scale. This is a Schuco model, painted by Matt Clay and interior painted & detailed by me along with the number plates.

And here it is in its final resting place on the dash. The plinth is balsa wood sprayed with fleckstone paint and white line tape. It's taped to a redundant Tomtom plate.

The proper designation is Omega B2, I've actually got a facelift Omega saloon in 1:43 scale, I've sprayed it in Nocturno blue, yet to finish it...I'd actually totally forgotten about it. I'll have to have a go at it in the next few days  :y
