Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Box stock. The side glass presents some fit challenges, as does the side marker lights(too big) but overall a nice little kit. Cobra Colors from old stock I had on hand, their clear as well. The wheels were a pain to mask but I think it was worth the three attempts.

S. Svendsen Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That's a cool little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gibbons Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 REALLY nice! I have the 1/43 version, but have to think about building it in this scale. The wheels were worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Whoa! I'm really liking your finished model! I do have the police version with the cut down doors but I'll have to keep an eye out of the regular version to build one of those Saigon taxi cabs!

Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks everyone! Jim, I really like the wheels. If I were to do another kit, I would build it with more details.I really like these wheels, and I would put the bolts on that hold the outer wheels. Tom, I look forward to seeing yours when you build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Very nice. Is this the Heller kit, as Erik Smith suggested? And if not, what what scale is it? Again, you did a very nice job. Unusual model, one that in the US at least, is not see very often. I like it. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastheniker Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Beautiful model of a classic European post-war car. Your colour choice is spot-on for the European taste of those days. Edited April 15, 2014 by Plastheniker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Nice to see one of those so well built. Here they had a nickname "hot ass" because of the rear engine. They were replaced here by the Renault Dauphine, and that one had another funny nickname: Leite Glória (Glory Milk) that was a brand of powder milk that was advertised as easy to break, in the sense it would easy to mix it with water. The car was also "easy to break" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
