hct728(Bob) Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 ICM Models 1/24 scale Opel Admiral. Wire trim rings are coming and photos reveal some Molotow touch-ups are needed here and there but essentially finished. Got another one planned as a two-door cabriolet by Hebmuller. If you built one I'd sure like to see it!
Classicgas Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Well done. Going to be starting the cabriolet soon myself.
David G. Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Unusual subject, clean, solid build. Well Done! David G.
espo Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Beautiful looking finishes. Not familiar with the 1:1 car but think it looks very stately for the time period.
Chuckyg1 Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Looks good. I'm in the middle of a sedan build right now.
dave branson Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Nice looking build. How did the kit go together, as I have 1 of these also.
doorsovdoon Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 That's a nice looking build. I like the picture of the frame with the engine, good looking kit! Nice colours, very nice build indeed.

Being a multi piece body you have to figure out the easiest assembly sequence for yourself. I figured the interior had to be finished and masked before painting the outside, and then there’s the seam at the base of the roof to be filled in, that’s the hardest part, though not a problem if you build the convertible (the folded top is also in the saloon kit, but not the convertible up-top)Also there’s a dimple on top of the valve cover, no reason for it, so fill it in or put a cap on it like I did. Interesting knee-action independent front suspension too, popular on Chevies of that era

I guess Opel used the same GM design specs of the time but used the Chevy stovebolt six instead of the Buick straight eight
misterNNL Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Nicely done. Very unusual to see any four doors of any make from this era.
Claude Thibodeau Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Hi Bob! This is a great car, and a great execution, bravo! May-I ask about the main color? It looks like some "moss grey" or green? Just curious. Care to share your "recipe"? CT
Justin Porter Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Really like the way this build turned out and the subject actually really jumps out at me with its style.
