Outstanding build of an outstanding model! I've admired this kit from afar for years, and I'm thrilled to see someone finally document a build of it. Beautiful job.

cardmodeler: I had a stockpile of pics to post - will probably be a little slower going forward - the instructions are a treat, 196 pages, 4 languages and doesn't leave much for the imagination

The-EDSEL: Is a fun model, but yeah, a fair size - is actually 1:10 according to the book, measures about 22" long

rmks: The photo quality textures are what really makes me want to finish this, it will make a beautiful piece to display.

ruben, billy & rps:
Thanks for the encouragement - will keep at it.

Photorealism at its best. Looks like you could drive away in it.

Done!

Just a few little things were left to finish, windshield, taillights, hood ornament and doors primarily, but all done.

Overall I'm very happy with how this turned out being my first model. I've learned tons while doing it, and just browsing the forums

Very nice build of an incredible model! Those reflects are so impressive that it is hard to tell what is true from what is simulated.
