It's the second shape shell for preds. The first one had nearly no scoops in it and worked a bit like a pressure cooker... Looked great though

Wow !! I LOVE the Masami replica bodies !! The green and the blue are both fantastic !! That was always my favourite paint scheme. Those vintage decals are hard to find, I still have a few left. Excellent work minimini !

do you have all the cars to go with these or are you a shell lover only I wish I had a place to display some (all!) of my car but sadly I'd need more than a 100yr old terraced house in huddersfield.

many people asked me the same question before........actually I do have these cars in my hands (more correctly is still stucking in the store room).......

but my bizzaar habit is ............to get the shells well painted before I have the motivations to build up the cars.......
