MG B GT Sebring 1967 Hopkirk by K & R Replicas
Sebring was the international competition debut for the MG B GT and as insufficient units had been built for full homologation at that point it was entered as a prototype, allowing for some extra modifications. Most of these were under the skin but externally a flip top fuel filler on the rear pillar and side exit exhaust are visible changes. The basic shape of the kit is good but the side window frames are a little heavy so the more experienced may wish to make some adjustments here. Otherwise the parts are cleanly cast and it will build a decent model of the class-winning machine.

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.
