1959scudetto Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 From Hachette's Mexican series is this '56 Chevy - I only added Virginia plates from a VERY old Autoworld sheet (decals for 2 Mexican 1956/57 plates are included) - model had 2 mirrors (!) and antenna already mounted. Got it last week, took it out for some pictures on this frosty morning - the roof is wider at the rear than at the front - I'm not sure if this is correct, otherwise a nice model: And here, for comparison with its smaller German cousin: 1957 Opel Rekord P1 (from Hachette's German 1/24 Opel series): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) I too have one coming and for a very special reason. My folks had one just like that. Thanks for posting. Did you do the windshield rubber or does it come like that? Edited December 24, 2021 by Gramps46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, guys - the model comes just like that - the only thing I did to it was applying those old license plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Woohoo, mine just hit the states, supposed to be here Monday. Man, I can't wait to get it. I'll BMF all the silver trim to make it pop a little more.😊 Edited December 29, 2021 by Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
