Final Completed Models this past year 2020

[steveracer]

I finished a few, and started even more - to add to the about 10 that are currently in progress!

A 1/32 E Type built for a good buddy, who had this as a road car when we met way back in the days of the rally club.  This was given to me and is an old MPC via Airfix Kit.

Another 1/32 (what the hell is wrong with me?) Matchbox kit that sat painted for 10 years....

I think you guys saw this already, another weird scale, 1/16 Revell kit via Fujimi.  Another difficult kit with poor fitting body panels.

A quickie (still took months for me to complete) "In Between Days" Monogram 1/24

And Finally, this took 40  years to complete (LOL) started this when I was a kid, and old AMT kit that sat in a box with cracking opera window fillers - this notoriously is a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH kit that I used some liberty to make it "look right".

 

And one Fujimi kit modified to Tomi Makkinen Evo 6.5 status on the scratch built front fascia.

That looks very nice! I asked about it on the other thread, because I do have one. I have several of those Matchbox kits. I always found them intriguing. Thanks for  pointing me in this direction!

Some nice builds, the auto union has to be my fav and if you had told us it was 1/24 I'm sure nobody would have doubted you

Beautiful looking builds. Getting that nice finish on the real small scale builds must have been difficult.

I Thank you all.  (Didn't Freddie Mercury say something like that?)    

Anyway, the paint on the Auto Union, jeepers it was so long ago, but I believe it was Testors out of the can "chrome" paint.  It is delicate so that you can't get greasy fingerprints on it, but laid real nice.  I painted just today, with some of the last spray can of model master "aluminum plate" that you can polish up, and I think that THAT would be a nice finish on that car.

For Straightliner59, here are a few more images of the car so that YOU want to build it yourself and enjoy.

Another Auto Union, but a D.  Nice job on that, as well as the rest of them.  I haven't seen the Boxer built before, have the kit, good to know about fit problems.
