oha...that looks great! i like the black rims more than the copper - match better to the black front. Well done!

nice color on your mustang! is it tamiya paint? well done and welcome back

here is the result. i love it, my wife too - think, hit the goal to have a new beauty. Thank you for attention. i had a lot of fun to build it again after the years. Comments welcome as always. feel free to say what you think. Ah, Harry, i missed the mirror inside...

Today, i will show you my last built (i think also for this year). It is the 1951 Chevy Bel Air, old amt-kit. Its also a car for my wife like the 57 Fairlane i built for her. She choosed the color including the combination with the roof and the kind of whitewalls. To make a "nice" car out of this old kit...that was my part. In beginning my "modelbuildcareer" (it could be in the 80s), i built the same terrible one yeeeeears before. if i compare the results today, i would say, i started the first try on skill level -5 *lol*. it would indeed be stupid if i could not improve in 30 years. the funny part was, that the reissue (yellow on the box) had the same casiting fin on the roof, the same deformed frame/frontfenders, lousy fitting hood...and so on. Allthe flaws i tryed to reduce to the minimum. What have i done? a short review of the "biggest" changes...i think, it is normal, that i made a lot of sanding each parts to make it fit and look good. i removed all the trim around the roof and made new quarterlight... i removed paint from all the chrome, not only to fit the bumber to the body... The red one "before" is my first built lightsyears ago the greatest focus i layed on the windows. perhaps you know (i think, you know) that the clear parts had to glue inside the body. and becaus of the thick plastic i had to choose, what to do. to thin out the body or to make new windows to glue from the outside. I tryed the second option...and think, i hit the goal as close i wanted. in the right of the picture, i corrected the inner door line, to fit to the panelline outside some other changes was to reduce the frontbench in height, make a new horn ring on the steering wheel, correct the frontend from the radiator. also i filled the big column between the wheelhouses and the fenderskirts an the rear. for a pretty stance, i lowered the frontsuspension a little bit. at last some wiring on the engine. Paint is out or the rattlecan with no clearcoat to give him a "not as new restauration" look. wait a minute...

oha...really hot wagon. super built!

B e a u t i f u l !!! I never saw this 41 so pretty built. Love it! btw...your pictures are fantastic also!

very nice! clean and beautiful outside, used under the hood. i like the engine more than the outside, the idea to use a straight six. very real made!

i agree. looks amazing. well done!

wow - also the pictures are over the top.

Yes, i am too. Amazing work Jürgen. How many hours do you spend on a Truck like this?

Wow! maybe you place it on a Diorama? it Looks fantastic!

like that builing!

love it! Looks old, very authentic!

nice and clear built. like the pink touch on the interieur - classic princess car

What the? never saw such a kit?!? agree - rust looks wild

nice Progress everyone!

very nice, Looks fantastic!

hmmm...thats why i voted model.

very nice. very nice!

cool. looong time ago i saw one as model. thanks for sharing your bigfoot!

agree to all i picked out - your wife has Talent. i like this old Revell-kit, built my own as a sleeper. so i know about her fantastic work on it!

correct with the paint Jürgen. aaaand...let me think about it...o.k., i will make a small base "next time". good idea! Next year will make more Dioramas i have in my head for a log time - and the cars ready parking here. Harry, the paint is semi gloss, photos taken in a photobox. i tried with more distance and/or Flash, more and less light but it looked more bad than right.

very nice! never saw a Rambler sedan...like it! Looks sweet

well done! colorchoice and Interieur Looks more better than before.

very nice, like it!
