1953 Studebaker Starliner Coupe

[RickJ]

Just finished this one. It's an old AMT kit from around 2003. I found a hobby shop that had a number of old kits from a modeler who had passed away and his wife had brought them in to sell on consignment. I was inspired by post on this forum by Bernard Kron. I liked his use of the cove on the sides for use of contrasting. color.

Great looking grill treatment along with the paint work. Nice contrasting interior color. Like the engine detailing.

Beautifully done! I love the two-tone idea (may have to try that when I dig mine out-Lol)

Very good looking model of a car I never liked but grown to like as I got older. Nice job.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Very Nice! Always was, always will be a very uniquely styled vehicle. Your build seems to emphasize that. Nice job.

Beautiful Studebaker!

That old Studebaker had lovely bodywork and very European in style at the time on the chrome and find era.

A lovely model with innovative use of two tone scheme.

I really like this one! This is actually my next kit in line to build, I just got the kit last week as a graduation present. It’s the one in the tin box, part of AMT’s postal series. Your example is actually what lead me to the forum; I was searching google images to find a paint scheme to use on my Stude, and I saw yours and clicked on the photo and it sent me here. I am inspired to use the cove idea for a two-tone as well.
