This model is a little ripper! It is a Matchbox MG Midget TD made between 1955 and 1958 and is just 51mm in length.

This car had rusted axles which I thought I could re-use, but ultimately they had to be scrapped. I replaced them with small pop rivet shanks. They seem to work well. This is the first model where I had to replicate crimped axle ends and so I had to teach myself something new which is always great.

The colour of the original models seen on the internet vary quite considerably. I picked the Mr Hobby colour called 'Radome' as a suitable colour for the body and it seemed to compliment the red seats quite nicely.

The close up pictures of the finished model, as always, are unforgiving. The details in the casting can barely be seen beneath the paint. The main reason for this is that they were very faint and low profiled to begin with.

I thank Steve Shepard from Ontario, Canada, for choosing me to restore his model car. I hope he is not dissapointed.

To all my subscribers, please note, that this makeover was a special case and I do not wish to restore cars for other people as a general rule. It places extra pressure on me and I wish to, instead, concentrate on completing my own collection, before undertaking personal requests from others. I hope that you understand.
