Larry Henley is one of those model car
champions from the past that you won-
der “where the heck did he go?” Turns
out Larry took some time off modeling to
raise his grandkids. But now that they’re
older Larry has time to build again and
plans to get back into his model build-
ing. When he walked into the Goodguys
West Coast Nationals model car show
the we knew that the judging just became
harder!
But out of all of Larry’s models, one
stood out more than the others. His 1958
Bug Eye Sprite showed some amazingly
clean detail and fabrication work! The
Gunze Sangyo 1:24 Scale 1958 Austin
Healey Sprite Mk.1 “Bugeye” kit had the
doors and trunk lid cut open and hinged
(doors have powerful earth magnets to
keep them closed). Most of the kit was
thrown in the spare parts box. The only
original parts of the kit are the body,
windshield, and windshield frame. That
means a lot of spare parts and a lot of
scratchbuilding went into this mini mas-
terpiece! It was awarded “Best of Show”.
