Porscheman Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 This is another one of my one day builds. This started out as a Modelhaus 65 Imperial that I received on friday. The car was soaked overnight in Purple Power as soon as it arrived. Next it was primed using Dupli-Color Gray sandable primer. The body was then painted with 4 coats of Dulpi-Color med. grey metallic and 4 coats of Testors wet look clear. The glass was painted with a light coat Tamiya's clear blue. The interior was painted Krylon burgandy. The vinyl top was done with a Super Sharpie. It was a very enjoyable build. Let me know what you think AL
Harry P. Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 It looks like the car the Green Hornet drove on his days off!
peekay Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I really like that - quick build or not, it turned out great. It shows NO sign of having been done in a hurry. I would have spent all day just getting the BMF that nice.
Porscheman Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Thank you guys!!! I've been watching the auction and swap meets and there was no way I could afford a $175.00 Imperial. When I saw that the Modelhaus had this on for $92.00 and my wife wanted to get me a kit for my Birthday, It was a no brainer. Beautifully done Modelhaus. Al Edited October 5, 2013 by Porscheman
bbowser Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Really nice job on that barge. I like it a lot!
realgone58 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Very nice Imp. I've got a project planned for one of these. 4 door conversion. Wheelbase and roof are the same, so it should be fairly easy. (If I don't slip too much doing the panel lines!)
Porscheman Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 Thanks everyone. I've been wanting a model of this one since I was a kid. Without the bull horns on the hood
Ramfins59 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 What a great looking car Al. Geez you work fast...!!!
ToyLvr Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 It looks like the car the Green Hornet drove on his days off! Yeah, I was expecting Britt Reed to step out of this one.... Really nice, Al.
