The trunk kit came today–one day earlier than it was supposed to. Woo Hoo!!!
Here it is:
It looks like a very nice kit. Included are all the pre-cut wood parts for the trunk walls and the various straps and crosspieces, paper sheets with printed patterns on it for the outside of the trunk, also printed paper for the inside... material for the straps and handles, and a bunch of beautiful photoetched hardware, plus instruction booklet:
The PE hardware is really nicely done:
The only problem is that this kit is 1/12 scale and my model is 1/16... so the trunk is too big. Not a big deal, though. Since it's a kit and not a preassembled trunk, I can easily cut down all the pieces and make mine slightly smaller all around, to fit the back of the De Dion perfectly.
