Excellent work, all around, Pierre! What a beautiful model. The hood straps and hardware are fantastic. Great job, my friend!

You passed the resin kit test with flying colors.

Pierre, your beauty shots are my favorite part of your builds because of the story you tell with the photos along with the finished build. It's like a presentation production you might see if a car is displayed in a museum. You could publish a coffee table book of all of your finished builds. That would truly be a fascinating book to sit down with.

So, Pierre, what was your overall experience with this kit from FPP?  I have several but have yet to build one, any hints?

Thanks again for sharing with us.

Hi John. Hard to make a fair comparison as this is my first resin kit. I found it more challenging than working with styrene but definitely manageable. The body is awesome and the metal wires acting as fender brackets are very well engineered. The laced wheels are very nice but had lots of pits in the rims and tire sidewalls. Chassis is a one piece mould and not very good but workable. The engine is basic but turned out nice because I did a lot of upgrading. Overall I like the kit but it does have some issues. I think Fernando's newer designs have addressed these issues. I'll definitely build more FPPM kits in the future. The subjects are so interesting.

I love this build! I have the Pocher 1932 that I did not start yet, been contemplating a proper color. Bravo

This result from what you started with Pierre is just fabulous.  Love the subtle weathering!!!  Details and paint work??

One to be proud of my friend.
