It's not 100% complete - just needs a polish, the gutters and a couple more transfers adding.

Let me know what you think...

my Dad actually has amongst others a Corghi Nova sport in BP livery. He wont let me have it.

It was a freebie with Texaco fuel tokens back in the 80's IIRC

the side details are transfers I made up on special decal paper. Was an absolute biatch to do - Ive never actually seen a sport up close and personal (except pics) to know if its the right shade but from the pics I have it looks about right.

Craig - you can get the little BP Novas off ebay for about ?3!

It is quite impressive, and i dont wanna sound harsh, but doesnt look 'quite right', proportions maybe.
still amazing for a home build tho :thumb:

perhaps its the photos - but it is to scale and is in proportion. Its difficult to actually replicate a car to scale working only from photos and line drawings - especially as I havent actually seeing a sport in the flesh and therefore have no frame of reference to draw from - however I'm happy with it. It looks better up close.

As for wing mirrors - most sports had 1 but I made 2 - theyre yet to be stuck on so I'll check before hand with the pics I have.

I understand you must have a waiting list as long as your arm but would love to have one done!

If you look on ade's website he does models of peoples cars. Yes you are right that the sports only had 1 wing mirror but the car that this model is a copy of has both mirrors on it, therefore the model is 100% accurate

Im giving serious thought to having a copy of my sport done ade. Just one thing ive noticed on closer inspection of these pics (and im certainly not gonna pick at your work, which i think is amazing) but the stickers down the side look to be 1 piece as in they dont break at the door edges!

shy witness - yes he is.

It has 2 mirrors

cheshire sport - youre right the transfer is one long transfer - the next batch I'll make in 3 parts - it'll make fitting them a hell of a lot easier that's for sure!

I need to change the exhaust to red as well - just noticed on pics its red.
