Revived Morgan

I had the chance to get my hands on a spare Corgi Morgan. It wasn't in any better shape than the one I already had, so it was time for a make over. The missing windshield was made from blister plastic, the dashboard and shifter were scratchbuilt from sheet styrene and stretched sprue. The steering wheel came from the spare box. The color is Tamiya racing green (what else?). The interior is my own mix with a touch of Tamiya smoke, I then dry brushed the whole thing with a light shade of beige.

Very nice! I found a Morgan made by Zee a couple years ago that needed some TLC. Is the Corgi casting pretty small? The Zee cast is about 2.5".
