The German Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Hello, friends of glue steam, now a DeSoto from my workbench. Not nearly as good as the model of our colleague here that was shown a few days ago. My model was just junk! Lots of parts were missing. The body looked just gruesome! So I stripped and repainted. I had to improvise with the dashboard and took one from another kit that serves as a spare parts store. Parts of the engine were also missing, the radiator was missing completely. In short, nothing was complete! Well, let's take a look at the DeSoto. I hope he knows to please at least a little? I would be really interested in your opinion. And, as always: Greetings from Germany! Edited September 24, 2020 by The German Greetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Very nice! I have one in bad shape also. All the trim was damaged or sanded flat. I’ll have to see what I can do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
