Unfortunately there have been very few kits of Australian cars- maybe some expensive resins.

You didn't know the steering wheel is on the right in Australia!?

Yep. But we drive either side of the road- depends who's coming the other way.

Thanks everybody for your positive comments. Here's some more. The 49 Ford is painted with an enamel rattle can so I can't say with certainty the colour matches an original factory spec.

Great finish with acrylic and future. (mine always has some fuzz or blemish in it...) I like the way you've blackened the grille and chrome work on the 58 Chevy.. It adds realism and makes the chrome "pop".

Thanks PL. I use either Games Workshop or Vallejo acrylic black wash for that. I have also used Tamiya black panel line accent (not acrylic) as well. The door and trunk outlines get the same treatment.

.... I meant to add the main drawbacks with artist's acrylics are: 1) poor coverage. Takes a lot of thin coats to get a good solid look. And 2) Durability. Until you get that clear coat on the colour is very easily scratched and marked. One BIG plus however is if you mess up the spray job, it comes off easily so you can start again from scratch. Had to do just that on more than a few occasions!

And some more. I've still got 50 or so unmade car kits in my stash. I can't bring myself to sell them.
