My apologies, you are absolutely correct! I knew one of my cars from that era was black-plate CA, and I thought it was the Triumph. I dug out my old pics and found the right one - my 1952 Nash Rambler Country Club. Wish they made a kit for that!

Great looking model, I've always loved the Topolino! We see the body all the time on drag cars, but I'll bet some don't realize this was a very popular car in its original form:

I'm currently building an IMC '48 Ford Coupe, nos kit. This is another one that I built many years ago and decided to revisit in my return to modeling, but I don't remember it being this weird. Am I totally rusty, or does this kit contain some of the most ill-fitting badly molded parts ever seen?

I built one of these over 50 years ago. It's long gone, but now that I've returned to the hobby I thought I'd do it again. Dodge Little Red Wagon by Lindberg:

Chris: Great license plates, and I hate to be fussy but can you do those in black with no sticker? That would be correct for my car! Peter: Thank you for the tip on the wheels, I was hoping discs were available. John: I'm in Ankeny IA, just North of Des Moines. David J: Gunze makes a TR2, TR3, and TR3A! I also have the Minicraft version of the TR3A, I'll be making a slot car out of it for my home track. To all: Thank you very much for the kind words, I'm having lots of fun!

I'm recently retired, and haven't built a car kit since I was 14 (49 years ago). I'm hoping that modeling will curb my urge to buy too many 1:1 cars, as I'm out of room for them. This looks like a great Forum, I'm really enjoying seeing the cars here and look forward to meeting some fellow builders. Here's my first: 1959 Triumph 3A

I'm recently retired, and haven't built a car model since I was 14 years old. I decided to try my hand again, here is the result. It's a Gunze 1:24 kit, modified to left hand drive so it would match the real one I owned in 1974 (shown in last pic). Great fun, and I look forward to building more cars!
