    Monogram 1934 duesenberg. Copyright 1963-1972. Old kit with a few fit issues. We are really spoiled today with modern kits. Came out ok. Out of box. The rear taillights are supposed to be one red with one white. I made them red. Hope you like.

    Finished! Came out ok. These old monogram kits are pretty challenging. Getting all the lights even was fun. Made the rear lights red. Supposed to be one red and one white. And some were all white, so I put it like I would drive it today. All red.

    The early C3’s I really like the styling. When I was a kid I drew that car on all of my school books. Love your restoration. Great job!

    I gave up on the chrome on the spare tires. Everyone I touched the spares the chrome messed up. So after using ever chrome paint I have , I gave up and sprayed them testors silver. Other than that , the build is going ok. Working on the chrome bits. The front bumper lines up well but the back has fit issues. Will fix them soon. Cannot expect a early 60’s kit to fit all that well.

    Thank you sir. A few more steps finished. The exhaust was fun. Fit is definitely not the best. My friend mark says we are spoiled with the new stuff. He is right.

    Thank you robertw. Please post a picture of you car. My friend Andre , gave me this model. (He is the manager of the Harrahs Automobile museum in Reno Nevada) I needed a change of pace. This one is a out of box build. ( mostly because I do not know a lot about these cars) The next 30’s car I build will have detail. Will try to have more finished this weekend. The copyright on the instructions say 1963-1972. Had to be a great kit for the time.

    Fitting grill and other things. Painted all of the interior parts. Checking fit for the interior. Next is finishing the interior, shift lever , hand brake and dash parts. Was in a hurry and had to fix some things. Need to slow down , getting too excited and making mistakes.

    These are work. You have them looking great. I remember these. A lot of sanding and filling to get these to look acceptable.

    Great sir!!! 2 place, too cool! My aircraft friends used to give me a bad time about aircraft until my bi plane took 3rd at the nats. None of theirs placed. I don’t rub it in too bad. Just every meeting LOL!!! Here are some pics, car modelers rule. LOL!!!

    Opened the box. It was all nice and neat. Just checking the parts out. Not the quality of the old pocher kits. Reminds me of a old 1/25 imc kit. A lot of detail but nothing fit. It’s a start. The mercury is 1/25

    Great job sir! I also need to model something else every so often. Several years ago I built a Pitts bi plane and also thought it was a build that the plane guys would tear up. But I entered it in the IPMS nationals in Vegas and it took third place. So you never know. Yours looks fantastic. Car guys make great plane builders. Great build.

    Just a little, but I know this big build will kind of consume a person. This is why I am doing a few 1/25-24 kits, to clear my head. ( having fun) .

    Great fix. Yes you have to really look at the vague instructions and still it’s vague . I have put together 3 mfh kits and I know the challenge you are up against. If you never built a mfh kit, you do not understand the complexity of the kit. Just to even finish one is a miracle in itself. Great job….

    Great job! My model friend Phil said that model factory hiro is a very expensive scratch build model. In other words it takes a lot to build the simplest model factory hiro kit. Keep going and cannot wait to see more.

    The Miura is really so much better. Man the Ferrari needs a lot of work. To get the Ferrari to the level of the Miura is going to be interesting.
