Gt fan Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 This is the Provence Moulage 43rd kit of Paul Newman. Very little clean up on the body and the other resins parts in the kit. The cage is a one piece white metal part that you bend to shape. Wheels are metal sleeve with a brass center that I sanded with 3000 sanding sponge. The wheels are on just for a mock up
vamach1 Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Nice to see a 1/43 kit on here and a Mustang no less. Edited April 21, 2019 by vamach1
Gt fan Posted April 25, 2019 Author Posted April 25, 2019 Got the interior cleaned up and painted . I have some of the detail painting started . All details are molded in. The seat a cage were just set on for reference. I had to fix a small chip in the body. Very tiny but annoying. You can see the white putty used to fill it. Body will get primed tomorrow.
vamach1 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Pinholes are very common in small resin kits. Once you prime it you might find some more. I miss the old PM and Starter kits.
Dave Van Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I did some 1/43 back when Starter was big....to small now.....I'll watch you!!
Gt fan Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 After searching for two months to find some decals after the ones I had exploded as soon as water was added, I’m back at it. The decals were sorced out of England buy purchasing another kit. This time I sprayed clear over the sheet before using it. Body color is Tamiya bright White. The body just needs some clear added and the black trim done. The interior is just about finished, just mocked up for the photos. I wish they did more of these kits because you could have a fleet of them.
vamach1 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Looking good so far. I just picked up this little gem last Saturday. Thanks Brad.

I'm guessing it was a small quantity made. I was not familar with the brand but it seems like a nice kit that is over 20 years old.
