Huh, hadn't noticed that the black bits were actually yellow - that's why it looks a little strange... No door mirrors either, if it wasn't for the working headlights then I'd accuse it of being a highly shoddy model.
That seals it then - I have to respray mine! I'll get a can of Diamond White spray and primer from Rover and sort it out.

There were some Scalextric Maestro shells on Ebay a while ago without chassis. I've got a red and a black for future "customisation"

Drill out the rivets, spray the body then re-attach the chassis with a blob of Araldite Rapid epoxy resin glue where each rivet used to be. You can fill up the rivet aperture with araldite to fake the appearance of the rivet. The bulbs are sometimes also called pre-focus bulbs. What a shame these Maestro's don't have an interior. I once had a Dinky Toys model of an NSU RO80 that featured operating head/tail lights in the same manner as the Corgi Maestro, but it also had a luminous white interior that glowed in the dark. Probably illegal these days due to the radiation...M&MOC Committee Member - Archivist

Wasn't the Scalextric shell meant to fix onto the Escort chassis or am I wrong? Can the Scalextric Maestro's head/tail lamps be illuminated like you can do with some other Scalextric models??
Yellow Corgi Maestro and Scalextric Black Maestro with beige interior and gold cheesegrater wheels. Both mint/boxed. That's my model maestro tally so far.M&MOC Committee Member - Archivist

Simon, I remember the "glow in the dark" interiors as well...I've just read that and realised how long it's been since I've seen one!

Oh Fantastic!!!!
I was looking through these old threads (Bored, you know!), and had a look at this site. As it happens I am a member of the British 1:87 scale Society and the road vehicles officer knows someone who does resin kits in this scale. The latest one is for a Triumph 2000. I think I'll have a few words with him about the possibility of getting some Maesties and Monties made. What does everyone reckon?Originally posted by Hobson
