Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 RAC 1960 by K & R Replicas
There are three options in this kit, all the same colour but with differences to the wheels (and numbers obviously!). The most successful of the three will also be the easiest to build as it had steel wheels, while for the others there are kit form wires, with etched spokes and cast rims. As usual with a K&R kit, the parts are well cast and the basic shape is pretty good, just take care fitting the roof.

About K & R Replicas
Well cast and easy to build, if rather crude, metal kits. Usually accurate though occasionally a bit odd. Wire wheels of the self - assembly type. Decals, when included, often slightly yellow (typical of many English makers) but will bleach with exposure to u.v. light. Now including a little more photo-etch. Made in England.
