The Mighty Duesenberg

[Al Hoffman]

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.

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

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.
