You sure build beautiful models Pierre. This one is no exception. Parfait en tout point.

Beautiful rendition of a classic car. I like the color.

great looking build, well put together. Always nice to see these old ladies in all their glory.

Great model of an all time classic. Great color choice.

exactly like in the movie, great job.

Thanks Thomas Thanks James Thanks Bruce Thanks Lee Thanks Harry Thanks Emre Thanks Glen thanks John. Depending on the finish and texture you want, the base coat is very important, for all metallic shades I used black, for polished finish the shinier the base the shinier the shade. For this model I used the Alclad gloss black base coat, the spray tamiya gloss black works great too. For the metallic I used chrome and airbrushed several mist coats at 15-20 PSI. I did not clear coated as it changes the shade. It dries hard enough to manipulated. Thanks David

A nice kit from Italeri. One thing about those kit, they build up quite nicely. I tried to replicate the car on the box art to represent the " star of India ". after a quick search on google , I realized that the box art color was too yellow. The real car is more brownish, I am satisfied with the results, of course never 100 % but close enough for me. The chrome was done with Alclad and has a nice shine in the sun. As always, thanks for taking the time to look.

Great looking in orange. Great job on both.

Nice and clean build. Saw a lot of these growing up.

That's a beautiful trio Helmut. My preferred decade for styling. Your color choices are on par for the era.

That's a cool model and the color fits it perfectly. Great job on this.

Really cool movie cars, saw this movie in a drive in back then. Great paint job.

A wolf in sheep's clothing. I like the plain Jane look without the hub caps.

A real good looking bad boy. The black grille looks mean. Nice details underneath.

I like to see movie cars especially when they well build like this. Great job.

That made me smile, A testament to imagination and creativity. I like it.

Despite their flaws, Jo han kits are sorely missed, at least by me. They had a lot of really interesting subjects that no other model company offered. And their bodies were close to perfect. When I see a Jo-han kit built so nicely, it brings a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing this.

This is awesome, to bring a kit to that level takes dedication and talent you certainly have both. The paint job is flawless and further enhanced by a perfect photography. ??

Great job on the deuce. I like the color choice , nice and clean.

Beautiful paint job on an equally beautiful ford.

Nicely done. I like the satin finish. The grille work was well worth it.

Welcome to the forum Thomas, I for one really want to see your builds. You'll find this place informative and inspiring.

Welcome to the forum Kaydon. Looking forward to see your builds.

Beautiful weathering , I like this kind of build, especially when they are this good. The mods are super cool.

Great build and the weathering is spot on. Great job.
