Thank you all for comments Dave thank you for answer. Your paint work is absolutely perfect. For mine, perhaps I will remain more classic as I wonder if those pearly paints exist in 1933 Bruce, I saw your 1931 452A. The panel lines are perfect and you found an elegant solution to thin the wheels spokes with 2 tones of blue (the only solution as the wheel covers were introduced only in 1932 ) Now, the black wash on panel lines, radiator grille and wheels ? Perhaps you could add the missing wood grain on the stanchions of the top I was asked the same question on the french Forum and my answer was as follows : Don't forget, I built this model 30 years ago when I was young and whitout any web information. I painted the body whith a brush and now the panel lines are not perfect enough to be filled with a wash. Now, consider that when I undertake the renovation of the model (6 month ago), the entire model was glued and the wheels were clipped and could not be removed whithout damage. So on a new kit, before gluing, you have separate parts in your hand and you can try anything you want on them. If wrong, you can delete and restart. On an already built kit, if you reach a wrong result, there is no possible return So it is a relic of my past and I like to keep it as it is now. But of course I built my new models in the today maner

Thank you all for comments Dave, I love very much your 1933 Cadillac 452C. I have it to built (and also the same with the All Weather Phaeton body). Just a question about the semi-gloss body : which paint have you used ?

Thank you very much First of all, the roof is only the monogram plastic roof with Humbrol paint (sorry for the disappointment ) To understand the access to the rear seat, I would like to post a video, but don't know how to do <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQnn6tLE4dg?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The same in the sun :

And now the Under glass model :

I glue the inserts in place :

The entire process is here (pages 22 to 27) : http://www.forum-auto.com/forum2.php?config=automobile-pratique.inc&cat=4&post=13141&page=22&sondage=0&owntopic=1&trash=&trash_post=&print=&numreponse=0&quote_only=&new=&nojs=0 Sorry for numerous digressions due to a very friendly forum. It's in french, but if any question, you can ask here.

So, I made some inserts :

So, I was searching a solution and find that wheel covers were available for 1932 Cadillac

The 1932 CADILLAC 452b, I built a long, long time ago : Do you like the Monogram wire wheels ? I hate them : too thick :

Thank you Grant for the answer

Thank you

Sorry, my English is too poor to understand what you are saying exactly Perhaps will you be kind to be more explicit.

Thank you all Eric, the 2 door phaeton is an easy scratch to do, but the 4 door version is already very nice Pat, thank you for the available Ford colors. This shows me my model is wrong in color, but as I said before, no web and no information on this model when I built it As I see there are specialists here, just a question : I want to turn my second 5 windows coupe in a roadster like this one, but I don't know if the advertising on the doors is realy historic or if it's a modern promotional object ?

Thank you all Pat, your 1/1 was absolutely beautiful. About the tutorial, I built this kit 30 years ago. No computers, no Web and no digital cameras When I will built the others 3 above + a woody wagon I have also + another 5 Windows coupe I want to turn into a roadster, I will re-find the process and post in the workbench section. However, it's not yet. I've other kits under construction and must finish them before. Frank, as my English is far from perfect, I'm not sure to understand your words. So, I hope the cars were like that at the end of the assembly line, except the licence plates I made also

Yes Chris, many hours, but now I've the experience, I hope the other will be more easier to do Wayne all my models are in stock version. Even the 29 Pick-up will return to it's original look

Thank you all 62rebel : Merci beaucoup

Does anyone knows where to find the decals for a 1955 Chevy BelAir Indy Pace Car ? As most of them are in white color, I canot print them. PS : 1/24 scale

And now, see my home made wheels. I replace all the beams by fishing nylon wire. More realistic, no?

See the thick plastic wheels by Monogram :

No, the doors are sealed. But I'm not really fond of opening parts because all my models are under window display.

Some pictures in the sun :

Now my 1930 Ford A Five Windows Coupe 1/24 by Monogram :

Astonishing what you've done with balsa.

Great job I've built the 1932 Monogram kit. I will post it soon.
