  1. These were freebies with the stipulation that I build the Packard. Still a few things to do. The hood and grille are just taped together at this point. I'd never seen either one of these kits before.  It's a good enough kit. No chrome, no decals. The dash engraving  is a bit lacking and  there are lots of sinks in bad places

  2. Final stages. I'm having issues with the front fender. The bracket didn't end up in the right place, I'll probably just cut it. I can't see where I did something I shouldn't have. The cables. The black hose provided is very flexible, much more so than the old vinyl tubing MPC used to provide. It looks way too large and it should be a light grey or white. I still have old, white wrap wire I may try.

  3. Thanks, guys! The ladder is some scrap balsa from a ship model, toothpicks and some photoetch for the hinges and spreader bracket that I still need to add to the side that's showing in the pics. I've also figured out that removing the mounting flanges and putting the windshield in from the outside is way easier than following the instructions. I'll also be putting that front bumper back on for the third time.
