Did you spray the Revell Chrome directly on the white plastic rims, or did you use a primer or black enamel as a base coat?

You built a splendid model, and I find your experience with Revell Chrome spray very interesting. It is apparently an expensive but very convincing product. I'll certainly give it a try.

Congratulations on your Bugatti, you built a really wonderful model. I must add that kit to my stash - and the roadster too of course.

Mike, it more looks like a Mercedes bus to me. And this website says it's a Mercedes O 3500: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_66166-Mercedes-Benz-O-3500.html Best regards

Great scratch-building and lovely restrained weathering - just perfect! Congratulations, Jeroen.

An excellent build of an interesting model.

A very nice build, and that grille turned out really well! It's nice to see a "normal" car being built every now and then.

Your engine weathering is perfect, and thanks for the steering wheel tutorial. I'm thinking of using yellow wire from a computer network cable (patch cable) for the ignition wires of this 1/12 model. In a few years or so, when I have finished all projects lingering around...

A beautiful model, very well done. Hasegawa succeeded really well in capturing the form and the lines of that car. I'm not a fan of BMW, but I wouldn't mind building one of Hasegawa's rallye liveries of the 2002.

I don't think there is anything you can improve on this perfect build. Congratulations! My French teacher at secondary school bought a green Land Cruiser back in 1975 or 1976 - a very unusual acquisition at that time, long before SUV's became trendy.

Does anyone know why Hasegawa does not re-release its splendid Ferrari Testa Rossa model, in original form or in another livery? I only bought the 'regular' red version (still in my stash), I now regret not having bought the other versions while they were still available...

An excellent choice of colour and a superb paint finish - congratulations!

I have this Heller kit in my stash too, and I’ll follow your build with interest. This van has lots of character, and a two-tone paint job would suit the coachwork.

That’s a splendid model – I wish my third build, ages ago, had been as good as yours. With Italeri’s “20 ft. shipping container” kit, you could recreate the photo of the real car!

A great build. I’m quite certain that the very first Japanese car I saw in my life was a Hino Contessa, somewhere around 1965. I suppose its coachwork was a bit different from all the other cars at that time. Hino Motors still has its European offices in my hometown, although they stopped building passenger cars.
