miwi Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Inspired by a Renault Dauphine with Yamaha FJ1200 engine I modifeid an old 1/25 Hubly Renault Dauphine. The Hubley Chassis was replaced by a new one made out of sheet. The proportions of the roof are a bit strange so that I corrected it to the right shape. Also the belt line wasn't straight, more wavy. I corrected that as well and add a chrome .The rims are modified 15" Fuchs with 15" rings from Scale Production. The scruffy look of the paint was done wit Hairspray and salt technique. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarz-Brot Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This is 1:25? Looks more like 1:43 in the pictures. So tiny. Interesting and very original build. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 When I saw the title I was expecting a build of the old Airfix 1/32 kit that now goes for stupid prices on e-bay - i've never even heard of Hubly! Great build, I really like the rat look finish, makes a change from the miles deep 2 part gloss clear look! Cracking little Renault! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Great model of a truly awful car. Putting that sort of power in a Dauphine is suicidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I used to have the Airfix kit. Sold back in the late 80's for around £15.00 to 20.00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
