Al Hoffman Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I built this back in 1980. I know this because I was traveling for work & can remember sitting in the hotel room filing away. It is a Hubley 1/18 scale metal & plastic kit. it is primarily a screw together kit. The only modification I remember was making the steering shaft a little more realistic looking. The kit is designed to steer & it still does after the changes made. The body was brush painted with I believe Scalecoat RR paint. The light tan interior, luggage trunk & top were painted with Testors from a rattle can. Whitewalls were hand brushed with a product called Gesso. It got a refresher coat of Future brushed on a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodaSaurus Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Looks gorgeous . I never finished mine as I did not like the stick on paper interior door panels but this looks great and a model of my favourite version of the Mighty Duesenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Hoffman Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Caught me on that one. One disappeared a long time ago so I took the other one out to look the same. Hate to rob another kit & to lazy to make replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
