1935 Delahaye

[bbowser]

My first completion of the new year, been working on it for quite a while.  These Heller kits are finicky with vague to non-existent part locations and weird one-piece window/interior panels, but some of the best in-scale plastic wire wheels.  I stripped the chrome and painted them the same gray as the body, then did the rims with a Molotow pen.  It has steerable wheels with close to scale tie rods and linkages, thus very delicate, ask me how I know!  I enjoy the challenge and they have subjects not found elsewhere.  Hope you like it, comments welcome.

Looks great! Just don't park it next to a giant Quail sign.

Very nicely done!  I really like how you did the spoked wheels.  I am a big believer that the spokes should be darker than the rims for a more realistic look and you have proven here.

I am a Factory Stock builder . What we have here is a replica . The Wheels look so right . Nothing not to like . The Vagueness is just DeRigor in the Day . I have Heller Kits too Thanx

Bruce, that is one fine looking car. And the wheel detail looks fantastic. Another nice one.

Very nice indeed, Bruce. It’s a very classy colour combination, and your detail painting is exemplary. Having done one myself, I know that it’s no shake and bake kit, but Heller kits of this vintage are worth the extra effort...

best,

Well done and very cool.

I'm not familiar with the subject but I sure like the way this looks. Very clean looking with good interior and engine detailing.

Love it.

This is a kit that I've overlooked. You've done a great job there. I especially like the wire wheels. The Delahay has some lovely proportions. I think I'll have to find myself one of these kits. Would make an unusual street rod!
