72Nova Posted September 24, 2022 Author #213 Posted September 24, 2022 Thank you, Kirill. Case is pretty much done minus the glass, I used African Mahagony and she's right at home with HMS. Victory.

Hubac's Historian Posted September 25, 2022 #214 Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) There are so many cool things happening in these pictures; awesome cases, interesting just how big Reale is relative to 1765 Vic, impeccable ‘Nova! Did you have to do a lot of metal work on the body, or was the car in good shape from the start? Edited September 25, 2022 by Hubac's Historian fmodajr 1 We are all works in progress, all of the time.
72Nova Posted September 26, 2022 Author #215 Posted September 26, 2022 Hi Marc, I bought the car in 1984 off the original owner for $75 and had rust in the usual areas that I fixed when I painted her up back then, but after 25 years new areas started to rust so I made the decision to replace all the sheet except the roof, tail light panel, rockers and windshield cowl. This was the 3rd and final go around, needless to say I put in countless hours to get it into the shape its in. Michael D.

Hubac's Historian Posted September 26, 2022 #216 Posted September 26, 2022 I’m surprised the rocker panels maintained structural integrity. We are all works in progress, all of the time.
72Nova Posted September 26, 2022 Author #217 Posted September 26, 2022 Me too at first until I started replacing the QTR panels and discovered they are galvanized steel.👍 Michael D. kirill4 and Hubac's Historian 2 Completed: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/20561-reale-de-france-by-72nova-finished-heller/ HMS Victory 1765: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPrp-3y7ntwH1vwfFsMMf0bWByRebwVKqePmRLqCx3aptq5sMlGZp_LtYv0v-seiQ?key=RWdjbWRKQWs2X1JSaDAyVTRuMHk5U3dOTHJCSDVB Completed: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33007-vasa-by-72nova-airfix-plastic/
Hubac's Historian Posted September 27, 2022 #218 Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Oh, interesting! I wonder of that was a Chevy thing. That’s pretty forward-thinking for 1972. I was born in ‘73, and lately, I wish I were made from galvanized steel. Edited September 27, 2022 by Hubac's Historian kirill4 1 We are all works in progress, all of the time.
