1959scudetto

Danke, Oliver !

Thank you, Mark! Thanks, Dennis !

Thanks, Monty - back then it was easy to get one. Thanks, Craig ! Thanks, David - it was a quick build - I even didn't paint the interior (apart from instrument panel and steering wheel) Thank you, Bill ! Merci, Philippe! Thank you, Trevor - start it ! Restoring/saving old built-ups can be a lot of fun!

and don't forget the 1/24 Hchette WRC collection (manufactured by Ixo): for example The MG Metro 6R4 and a few Lancias and Peugeots:

I'm with you on a re-issue of the very first Lotus 49 - Bring it Back!!! As a huge Jim Clark fan, the 33 is a must for me!

Very delicate model - looks super nice !

Thank you, Benton !

Thanks, Larry!

No problem, Luc - the Kadett rally and the Diplomat coupé have been added a few days ago - so I believe that maybe in 2 or 3 weeks the next models will be added - just watch the site often!

Don't worry, Luc - just go to the following site and there you have it: https://www.modelissimo.eu/ - you may switch to dutch or french, if you want - choose scale 1/24, and then Hachette Opel Collection and voilà: 7 different 1/24 Opels available at the moment (surely there will follow more)

Hey, Tom - here is the Hachette 1/24 version from the Opel Collection:

Thank you, Ray ! Thanks, Mike - for me the whole car is ugly : it is bulky and misshapen, and the ragtop - oh well ! From 1956/57 onwards, the Corvette had a much more attractive look. Thanks, Trevor - though I built it box stock originally, it sits too high (almost SUV-like) - if built today, I would choose the Revell(ex-Monogram) version.

Thank you for your nice comment, Carl !

Thank you, Carl ! Sorry that I overlooked your comment.

Thanks, Alan - Gareth has already informed me that Humbrol paints are no longer what they used to be.

Many thanks for your tutorial Steve - the simple solutions are often the best! It doesn't get easier than that !

Thanks, Chris ! Thank you, John ! I would say JoHan kits often are lacking in details, but their proportions always look spot-on! Thanks, Lee!

Great model, Albert - with Kowalski's license plate (Vanishing point) !

Thanks, Bob ! Thank you, Gareth for this info - I wasn't aware of that - it must be far more than 20 years ago that I bought my last Humbrol paints. Thank you, David - glad you like it. I prefer rods and customs with a certain amount of chrome as in this case - I don't like the monochromatic paint jobs of the late 80's and 90's (chromeless, too), but this is a matter of personal taste.

Looks very good, Alex - have you lowered the front a little bit? Did the kit have any issues (I have it in my stash, albeit the Lindberg version - when it came out first) ?

Around 1986 I built amt's 1953 Corvette - it had some issues and was that ugly that I ordered Fred Cady decals from Model Empire to turn it into the 1954 Carrera Panamericana participant: in its first international competition, the corvette was ill-fated: a rod punched through the Blue-Flame Six and the race was over. I swapped the stock for some red-painted spoke wheels, removed the teeth grille, replaced it wire mesh and applied the decals. I'm sure I have made many mistakes in some details, and I had to guess where the decals might go - there were no templates or photos available that could be used as a guide. Anyway, though the car still looks ugly, I took it out of the closet, applied road dirt and grime with some pastel chalks and took a few pics:

Spectacular builds, Jürgen - I admired them already as a load on the transporter.

Thank you Bill! Thank you Frank - the interior is still unpainted - the kit was molded in that cream color.

Thanks Walter - if I had it still today, I probably would detail it with parts from Revell's Starsky & Hutch Fran Torino and paint it in dark green like in Clint Eastwood`s movie.

Thank you, Michelle - a detailed kit of this car would be fine! Thanks, Eric! Thank you, Dave - I like that body style and I think JoHan got it right. Thanks Jay! Thank you. Larry! Thanks, Richard ! Thank you, Ray - I like that car, too (that's why I kept it while selling off all other muscle cars from my collection) Thank you, Gene.
