CDW Posted April 24, 2020 Author #121 Posted April 24, 2020 I'll be painting the top in an off-white color. I need to make a push to have this model finished by the weekend. It's getting boring and when that happens, it's finish it or box it up. Once I lose interest, it's hard to regain it. There are newer, better models that await and want to start. mtaylor, Jack12477, Landlubber Mike and 12 others 15 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

CDW Posted April 25, 2020 Author #131 Posted April 25, 2020 Dry fitting is absolutely mandatory with these older model kits. Lots of dry fitting. Every part/piece that's added will often change the overall fit. Modern kit tooling has spoiled us. These older models can be built nicely, but it truly is a lot more work to do it. That's one of the reasons I lose interest with a model like this. Not complaining, just explaining. If you want to build a 1:25 1931 Cadillac V16 Roadster, there is no other alternative, and may never be another. Who would spend the money necessary to tool these molds all over again? We perhaps be impossible to recoup the cost. knightyo, gjdale, marktiedens and 15 others 18 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

There is no door hardware except for a pull latch much like those on cars today. The dash has two oval gauges, a speedo and clock, the rest are arc type meter gauges and the gas gauge is a bubble vial type that actually had live fuel in it.... There is no aftermarket for them as there is none for this model.... One of the reasons it's been on the shelf for so long.... As has the V-16 cabriolet....

lmagna Posted April 26, 2020 #146 Posted April 26, 2020 That came out pretty nice Craig. I was wondering about doing the top white when you said that was the color you were going to use but it really does add a touch of elegance to her looks.
