The 1934 MG K3 Magnette was an old Crown kit, #231. There was a 1911 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost in the same series, but I’ve never seen that kit anywhere. Well, is was a kit, but with barely 36 parts and instructions for how to play with the car it was actually more a toy. It should have some kind of wind-up mechanism installed in it, so you could wind the car and when released it would go like hell for a few seconds. I guess.... The instructions were all in Japanese language, but some good soul did a translation job and typed them out. As I said, it was basically more a toy, so I had to make some modifications to get at least a decent model. On the front I removed the strange 'bulge' where the wind-up mechanism would have protruded. I made a correct chrome MG decal for that place. The kit had no decals, so I made a few MG decals for the radiator and the spare wheel. For the dashboard I had some left-over decals for the small instuments. The large rev counter was hand painted. |
