MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. That looks great, Vince! I may give it a try on my ink jet printer. Good Idea!
  2. Really nice work, Vince. I appreciate the fact that you used the vintage Revell kit and not the usual Tamiya. Your mods and paint look great and I don't see any sign of the body seam. Great Job!
  3. I've also had good experiences with LB Productions. Good quality and prices, and excellent service.
  4. That is Outstanding! If this kit was for sale I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
  5. I just ordered the Pyro 1/32 Bugatti and Mercedes SSK from guys on ebay over the weekend. I recently finished the Pyro Alfa Romeo. It had some unique challenges but it turned out pretty nice. I'll post some pics when I get off my duff and get the camera out. Give one of these a try. The subjects are great and with some minor scratchbuilding and aftermarket parts you can add something a little different to your collection.
  6. Thanks again for the kind comments. Atin, I didn't use any clearcoat on this one.
  7. Thanks for the kind words, Guys. Much appreciated!
  8. Below are some pics of the Airfix 1/32 1933 Alfa Romeo. The kit was originally issued in 1969 and while some areas show their age, overall the molding and fit are not bad and the build was enjoyable. As is the case with most of these vintage 1/32 kits, the big letdown is in the wheels, which would be beyond my skills to make realistic. The solution for this model was to use the 3D printed wheels and tires produced by The Model Bunker. They’re a bit larger than the kit parts but other than having to slightly enlarge the spare tire opening, they fit well. Other small mods included a scratch built tonneau cover over the rear seat (sheet plastic covered with tissue paper), dashboard instruments (gauge decals with p/e bezels), and new headlights from Czech Truck Model. The latter are a little too modern for this vintage car but I went with them because of the big improvement over the kit parts. Paint is Tamiya Spray TS-8 Italian Red decanted, mixed with Gunze Leveling Thinner, and airbrushed over a couple of coats of Alclad White Primer, also thinned with GLT. The decals are from Le Mans Decals and are meant for the 1933 Le Mans winning Alfa, which this model does not represent, but I used them because they looked right for a car of this era. I hope you like the pictures. All comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Thanks for looking!

  15. Outstanding Job, Ismael! I'm a big fan of Citroens and yours is an excellent example, especially in the small scale.
