  1. I glue the inserts in place :
  2. 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.
  3. So, I made some inserts :
  4. So, I was searching a solution and find that wheel covers were available for 1932 Cadillac
  5. The 1932 CADILLAC 452b, I built a long, long time ago : Do you like the Monogram wire wheels ? I hate them : too thick :
  6. Thank you Grant for the answer
  7. Thank you
  8. Sorry, my English is too poor to understand what you are saying exactly Perhaps will you be kind to be more explicit.
  9. 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 ?
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Thank you all 62rebel : Merci beaucoup
  13. 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
  14. And now, see my home made wheels. I replace all the beams by fishing nylon wire. More realistic, no?
  15. See the thick plastic wheels by Monogram :
  16. No, the doors are sealed. But I'm not really fond of opening parts because all my models are under window display.
  17. Some pictures in the sun :
  18. Now my 1930 Ford A Five Windows Coupe 1/24 by Monogram :
  19. Astonishing what you've done with balsa.
  20. Great job I've built the 1932 Monogram kit. I will post it soon.
  21. I think the blueprints were destroyed when USAF bombed the Billancourt Factory during WWII. This kit can be find on E-Bay from time to time. On the other hand Heller re-born 2 or 3 years ago with a new team and beside new models they reissue gradually their old kits. Not yet the Renault Vivastella, but I think it will be soon http://www.heller.fr/en/maquettes/66-scale-cars-model-classic
  22. Thank you all
  23. Hello, another vintage car, I built 30 years ago ... The 1928 Citroën B14G (Heller kit 1/24) :
  24. Thank you all Perhaps, you are right : The Deuce seems to be an American Vivastella Chillyb1 : Merci, mon ami
  25. And thank you Tom
