1935 Morgan three-wheeler "MOG" - Entex 1/16

In trying to wrap up various models I've been working on, I finished this old kit from Entex that I think is from the 1970s or maybe the 1980s. I tend to like quirky subjects, so this seemed to fit the bill. It went together fairly well, and I built it mostly out of the box except to add some engine wiring and replaced the radiator grill with a stainless mesh. I used Zero paints for the body and seat, Vallejo for the chrome, dash, wheel, etc., and oils and Tamiya clear orange for the wood portions and for the leather seat. The hood emblem decal disintegrated, so for the dashboard gauges, I used Microscale's liquid decal film to help firm up the decals. That helped a lot but there was some tearing still, so I just cut them out and glued them on with the paper backing still attached.

Still have a long way to go in getting better at model cars (I mostly build model ships and planes), but this was a fun project! Just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my earlier topics about using Zero paints. Really appreciate it!
