Austin Healey 100/4 Alpine 1953 by K & R Replicas
Austin Healey 100/4 Alpine Rally 1953
Four decal options are included for this kit of the cars from the 1953 Alpine rally, but the instructions only include information on building three of them! You will need to pay close attention for the version you choose as there are differences in the bonnet and left or right hand drive as well as colours. The kit parts are typically well cast, the basic shape is pretty good and there’s a fair amount of etch included. These kits are in an older style but they build well enough in skilled hands.

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.
