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.

Simply perfect. And the Simca 1000 was another car for which a bag of cement was a desirable option...

An excellent build. I have two of these in my stash, I hope to find the time one day to build them together with the Büssing and Krupp lorries. It’s indeed such a shame that Revell abandoned this line of veteran lorries – there are so many beautiful German, British or French ones that could be turned into attractive model kits.

Not my favourite beer, but what a lovely model. Well done!

Well done! A superb result after your decal disaster.

A fine build and an appropriate colour. Can anyone recommend a good 2 CV kit in 1/24 scale? The weak point of all the kits I know is the shape of the headlights, they always seem a bit different from real Citroën headlights. The ones of the Heller HY kit also just don't seem to have the correct shape/profile.

All your hard work did pay off, it is a lovely model!

Nice work, a lovely MGB. And TS-13 is indeed dangerous stuff, it destroyed the Humbrol two-tone enamel paint of my Revell Samba Bus, so I was back to square one.

Sorry, that should have been "Robert" instead of "Marc"... Seems I mixed up my very first post on this forum! JohnE

Hello Marc, I am also building this model. You can find some very useful and detailed pictures on the website of Hyman Ltd. in the "cars sold" section. Cheers JohnE
