1957 Chrysler 300C

[1959]

Hello all. Few photos of my son's (12 years) latest build. AMT 300C pretty much box stock. This was his first spray can paint and also first time to wire the engine compartment. It was easy to find out how the plumbing should be done as we have 1:1 57 New Yorker in our carage.

There was some challenges with the paint cracking away with the BMF which I have never faced with rattle can automotive primers and paints. It seemed to peel off from the plastic so it was the primer that was causing the trouble. Luckily he managed to patch it pretty well eventhough it is metallic.

Model was finished day before a model show and was awarded with the first price in junior class for car models. Gives motivation for future builds!

Thanks for looking!

Well done Henri, your 300C looks fantastic and well deserving the award. I hope to see many more scale creations from you in the future and remember this, make your models for you as this hobby is all about using your imagination to create your own version of the kit your building. 

Cheers, 

David. ??
