Charlie Magers Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I built a similar model a couple of years ago to replicate a car owned by a friend of mine. He’s wanted one ever since. We'd go to car shows and he'd always check out the die cast vendors but they never had the correct color combination. I started to build this car months before his 60th birthday but couldn’t find the time to get it completed in time for the party. A few months later I finally presented to him. I hate giving models away but I’m sure he’ll appreciate it. The paint is Tahitian Turquoise from Model Car World, photo etch is from Model Car Garage, the wheels are from Competition Resins and painted with Alclad, the tires are from Replicas and Miniatures’ of Maryland. When I built the first car (on right) his car had rally wheels and white letter tires. During the time I was building he changed the wheels and tires to Draglites and redline tires. The car on the left was built as his car is now.
Starliner Kustoms Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Nice builds! I love the color, it really fits the car. Bernie
Charlie Magers Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks. The 1:1 car is beautiful. This photo was taken last summer.

DR Dubois Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Nice model and I'm sure he cherishes it a lot. Now I got the bug to go finish the one I started last year, but haven't touched in a long while!!
fordh8r Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Very nice builds indeed. I think it looks better with the redline tires.
