Here is one I have been looking to restore for ages and this is how I like to buy them in.No arguments as to whether it should be stripped or not I think...Progress to be shown over three days.

Thank you for sharing Mr Pop.
I look forward to seeing your project progress!
For those of us not familiar with the Wee Kin Line, can you include a scale figure so we get an idea of the size of this Humber Super Snipe?
Thank you
Kurt

Do you know what the original colour was?

I have 2 of these Humber Super Snipe packed away somewhere - one is light metallic blue and the other light metallic green

Do you any of the Humber Hawk models?

Thanks for showing

Should be fun to restore this model - enjoy.

This is the only one I have ever had and it was stripped before and repainted with what looked like a yard brush..I nearly bought a metalic light red one at Bolton fair but it was out of my price range at £45 for a restoration project..Vectis have sold a few over the years and there are plenty of pictures of past sales on there site. I have a colour in mind for mine but all will be revealed in due course.

Oh Looks to be bang on 1/43 scale and the hole which was filled in has been opened up so any future custodian may repair the mechanism..

Heres my inspiration.....Sorry not my picture.....

Finished this morning so theres no waiting....
Hope I chopped them down to the right size....May make it a wedding car before I Ebay it..

Looks superb and as if it was just out of the factory - in fact maybe better!

Thanks for showing

Thank you for that,..Its a superb casting for its time ,the car is a 1950 so Chad Valley where well up with Dinky in the reality stakes..The wheels are Spot-On by the way look good eh? Had to replace the Dinky ones from the front ,plus the rears had those tyres with a groove like some Yesteryears.Is that right?
