rsmodels Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Here's a 59 Plymouth I finished a while ago. I repaired the glue damage and holes from the previous builder and polished the glass. It has Modelhaus chrome. The tires are originals. The paint is Krylon Maize Yellow with a white roof. I added wheel wells to the original chassis. I also added clear sections to the upper and lower part of the steering wheel. I didn't bother to do that on the 61 Plymouth I posted last week. I hope you like this one and thanks for looking. All comments and/or questions are welcome. -Rich 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 You have posted some absolutely beautiful builds, but this may be my favorite so far! The color, the style of the body, the right-on-stock "sit" of the model, the interior colors, and on and on... What a gem this is. You must have a treasure trove of classic kits and/or reproductions! Sometimes a model shows up here that honestly makes me say "I've got to find one of those", and so now I've got to find one of those. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unbuilt kit stash is small compared to many on here (4-500), but most are original kits from 1955-70. I also have some resin kits. I try to do restorations when possible rather than build the NOS kits. -Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Another one of your beautiful restorations. The interior is really outstanding with the pattern seat inserts and the steering wheel. Great smooth paint and color looks great. I like the showroom appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 One of my favorite Youtubers has a near exact 1:1 car. Beautiful job and perfect color combo, '57-'59 Furys and hardtops are always a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 There is an incredible array of superbly built subjects to look at on this forum, but your restoration of these old jewels is the sort of thing I always hope to see more of when I come here. Not only are they rare, but you are really doing them justice with excellent paint and trim work. Your intricate painting of those interiors is impressive as well. As a replica stock fan, I find the color choices you’ve made for these cars really nice and very realistic. I have a number of old built ups of my own from this era that I hope to do the same thing with, so seeing yours has me inspired. Thanks for sharing yours!
