After Michael aka "carsntrucks4you" posted his really good looking weathered Duck, i will present you my showroom-conditioned Duck.

The kit was a must have in my collection, cant wait to get it. :wub:

To give her the right theme, i searched for yellow Ducks (a wish of my wife), matching dealer, a suitable environment. Searched for the correct numberplate (last two numbers on the plate "04" - the hometown of the real existing company), made them with a generator and made the matching Decals for vehicle advertising.

Now, her she is:

"Les Comtes de provence" - a real existing company of citrus fruits in france.

Specifically the Duck:

And with her theme that needed more time for all the fruits and boxes as building the car :o :

Your work is tremondous Dominick! Seeing this kit built makes it a must for me, even with the rather expensive price here in the Americas. Going over your past posts, the variety of your work is very impressive.

Thank you for showing your latest!

Cheers Misha

Epic!

I had a Majorette toy of something like that, and I always though it was cool.

I'd love that kit, and a fleet of those Japanese 3-wheeler things to go with it.

Superb job and diorama, too!

That's one way to make an ugly duckling of a truck look like a true swan!

Dominik, another immaculate model of yours - as usual. Your self-made decals make it really unique. The icing on the cake, however, is your ingenious diorama that really makes clear what the 1:1 vehicle was made for. One of the best jobs I have seen so far. Wirklich gut!

Looks great ! I think I will get lemons in "les comtes de provence" next summer ;) just a little mistake...there isn't turn signal on the "2cv" side panel in France..."c'est la vie" ! "Les comtes de provence" makes excellent jams http://www.comtes-de-provence.com/fr/

Thanks Didier. I know about the real Buisness the duck delivers ;) . As i searched the web I thought, "thats it - perfect".

The turnsignal on the sidepanel was my mistake - good point! i didn't knew that. The holes were there, so i mounted them.

@Jürgen: Danke!
