  1. Congratulations on this wonderful model! Great! A real eye-catcher!
    I've already posted my XK-120 here in the forum, I'm sure it can still be seen somewhere in the depths of this forum?
    I made it in the exact same colors. That makes it very classy. I also gave the Jaguar a leather top.
    Really great work and an excellent presentation! Keep on modeling!!!

  2. ...first of all, thank you very much for your numerous answers!
    Yes, I know there are some flaws in the model, but I already said it in the posting above, the Camino is not perfect... I know about the small errors (tailgate, exterior mirrors, etc.) but in hindsight it's not just to fix it again.
    Unfortunately, the color was only a second choice; the original plan was silver with a wide wine-red stripe, which is why the interior is also wine-red. A "subtle" accident happened while painting and I had to bathe the body in Dowanol. Then brown metallic came onto the model.
    Thanks again for the comments...

  3. Hello everyone,
    ...after a somewhat longer absence, I would like to present you a model of mine again today. The '78 Chevy El Camino.
    There are three possible presentation options. With a hard top, with a cover and without either of the other two, just as a pickup.

    I know the Camino isn't perfect, but who is?
    Check it out and tell me what you think about it. Constructive criticism is also okay. Thanks for watching...

  4. Hello mates,

    after a longer break here is a new model from me.
    It is the Porsche 918 Spyder. Building was fun as always. The only bad thing was that the decals were torn when sealed. So I had to strip and repaint. At Revell I organized a new decal set. Like the first time, I got the new decals on well. It was a real challenge! This time I made the sealing with matt varnish a little more careful. And it worked as you can see.
    If you like the Porsche, pass it on. If not, tell me.

  5. Well, I always admire the colleagues who can build such great old and scruffy models! I guess these skills passed me by? Maybe that's why I only build new and top restored cars?
    I take my hat off to those skills!

  6. Wonderfull work!

    I always admire the variety of models you guys have in the States!

    The selection of model kits here is not exactly lavish. If you want something special, you have to import it!

    Keep on modelling!

  7. Hello again!

    Finally it is ready, the Bburago 300SL ... Many thanks to my namesake Uwe (a friend) for this great model! Merci !!!
    The construction went almost smoothly (... only a few parts) even if the plan and the decals were missing. But the max nothing, I made it anyway!
    The body was originally painted cream white, but I didn't like it that much. After a "Dowanol" bath that was done. Now it is anthracite metallic. It was painted with Multona 0813. Newly primed and then three light coats of paint. Then varnished three more times. Now I like it ...
    Unfortunately, the wheels have no caps (lock nuts), they were missing. I also had to take the front indicators out of the grabber box. The speedometer was left over from the Büssing and fitted exactly on the dashboard. The interior was designed in sand color. Goes well with it, I think.
    Slobbered enough. ... Here are the pictures:
