Drake69 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 That green is sweet. I love seeing vintage cars in as-close to or exact colors of the period like this. I need to use more colors like that. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I was born in 1961.In the Soviet Union did not make beautiful cars. fell in love with his childhood in American cars in the picture. This love has remained a lifetime! Sorry for my english. That's amazing in itself! That some one who grew up without ever being around these cars could capture them to this extent. Maybe the rest of us just take them for granted. You're a master Yuri!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Super nice work, as always. This must be the best build that I've seen from this kit. As always, your paint job is incredible and as someone said, panel lines look very good. Nice touch adding a bit better headlights to this one as well. Very nice and clean work. Is there any American Car Culture nowdays in Russia? Here in Finland there definitely is, but I haven't heard much about American Cars in your country.
