Well, now they're done. More or less mistakes. I am not satisfied with the paint surfaces. I don't really know how to use watercolors yet. Until now, I have always painted with enamel paints.

The last two pictures also show the models I made last year. The second picture also shows the year models. 

Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

They sure look good from here!  What issues are you having with water based paint?  I'm thinking of switching, easier clean up and friendlier fumes seem to be worth investigating.

I am building the Revell version of the Opel Admiral and I am curious if anyone has found the answer to this question.....with all the great detail that this kit has it seems that its missing the rear gearbox/bellhousing mount that the car must have.......the only engine mounts are at the front, under the crank pulley and do appear correct but apart from the exhaust pipe there is nothing to support the rear of the engine assembly as there should be.......so I've made a small crossmember to add between the X members that tie the chassis together but was wondering if anyone has a pic showing exactly what it should have..........my email is scaleautomobilia@yahoo.com...........thanks, Andy Douglas

Nice looking collection of cars.  They look really nice.

These look awesome! I love the details like the trafficators and little twist handles on the boot. The folding sun roof looks really good.

It looks like there is a mount at the front of the engine and one either side of the engine behind the cross-mount.

 

[andydodge]

That answers my questions.....there is an angled mount that would attach on either side of the bellhousing using those rubber pads....almost the same if not the same as that used by Chev around that time also........I've actually finished my Opel and made a straight crossmember to go between the front of the "X" in the centre of the chassis..........I'll pretend its a prototype mount........lol............andyd

They look very very nice! Well built! I love the red convertible ?
