Thank you sir, and yes I understand the hesitation. But agora is and will keep their promise. For example these parts took time to get here. Some kits are available as a complete kit. Just have to look into it and they will let you know if it’s fully available.

Thank you Mike

Hello Bob, sorry for the slow response as I just received more parts and looked at the forum. It is screw together but some parts need gluing. This is a out of box build. I cannot change the car as per my instructions from Agora. But if you do a little detail, they turn out great

Fantastic

Thank you jaymcminn. My first old classic. I grew up with mustang’s and Camaros. These duesenberg‘a were old man’s cars, in my younger years. So i did not have any interest. But as you get older you start to understand what it took to build these machines back then. And the quality of the cars were incredible. I watched ( Jay Leno’s Garage) and learned a lot about them. Just like the 166 I did, I started this project with minimal interest. But I saw Terry’s build of this car and was amazed by and how he did it. Im always learning. Had a few chrome paints that I have never used before, so that was a new experience. The frame is warped, so I have to fix that. Being in the box for that many years, something is going to be messed up. But I do like this car. This build is more of an building experiment / experience. But as you say it’s a build to not be so crazy with detail and you know the rest. So far a pretty cool model. By the way , how was the Mercedes? Can you show some pics? I’m always trying to learn. Thank you sir.

I forgot to say that I used several different types of chrome paint. ( some are inks I guess) molotow, house of color, spaz stick, alclad and testors silver in a spray can. The different finishes made the engine a little more interesting. Molotow was the best for duplicating chrome.

Just mocked up the engine in the body. Tight fit. The frame was warped. Need to fix that next. A kit this old has a few issues.

Thank you David G

Thank you Zippi. Seams like prices in 1966-72

Thank you bisc63

Thank you Carl

Here is the kit.

Building a monogram 1934 duesenberg. This is not a accurate build of any car out there. Or are the colors accurate. I’m just building it to clear my head on these big kits and mfh kits. Going back to my roots. 1/24-25 kits. For example the engine has around 11 parts. My 1/24 mfh Ferrari had 19 parts just for the grill. The kit is pretty good so far. The box says 1966-72. Copyright anyways. Pretty good for a kit that old. Had to be state of the art back then. The engine is simple but builds up well. Building out of box. No extra details.

Hello, I only know automotive paints. I use Tamiya paint for interior’s and the other parts of the car. If you would like to know automotive PM me and I’ll let you know what I use. I can tell you the right preparation is most of it. Here is a black 1/8 scale black cobra, sprayed with automotive paints. I sprayed a 1/12 mfh cobra with the same paint. Won best Shelby at the Vegas IPMS nationals.

The maverick is such a cool car! This is such a great build! Looking fantastic

Beautiful!

Pretty cool.

Thank you sir

Thank you mustang 1989

Fantastic

Thank you Dann

P.S. the build is not 100 percent accurate but it is close as I could get it. Still a fun build. That’s what it’s about, fun!

Unclescott58, I saw your 917 project. That’s cool. Indycals has resin tires also. My turbine car really needed them. The old mpc tires were not in the best shape. Enjoy your build. Here is a pic of my mpc turbine. Indycal decals and their resin tires.

Thank you Tim on the information!
