Rob Hall Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Got another 1/24th diecast Salvat—this time from a seller in Italy, a Mexican-market ‘63 Dodge Valiant Alcapuco ht. Equivalent to a US Signet I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're pretty cool, and very rare. I just picked one up myself, from Anna of Madrid. 😄 I bought a set of triangular tipped screw drivers awhile back to be able to disassemble European diecasts and work on them. Looking over the Pegaso now and figuring out what I want to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffman Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I like the two-tone paint, with the top a lighter color. Just an idea. The model is nice, as is, but I like changing things, make it your own, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very impressive car, Tim - I have 4 of these models that will undergo different treatments some day - at least the wheels have to be changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention these three model cars are in need of a good polish, as well as a missing Spirit of Ecstasy on one of them, and a pair of spot lamps that need fixing back in place.

stitchdup Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 arrived a couple of weeks ago. my plan is to use the fenders on a mongram 36 ford to build it into a 35. one pic has the fenders from the 36 in and they are very close in size with the truck fenders only being a mil or two wider. length is good. I'll probably use the extra 36 front end on the truck. it wasn't too dear either, even on this side of the pond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I bought one of these at Hobby Lobby while shopping for the grandkids. Had never heard of it before; interested to see what it looks like built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
