Hi Siwi ,
now you get the answer


and further ...

Fix the radiator grille...and first glue the bonnet on the right, small inconsistencies are "filled in" with thick glue.

The two flaps of the hood... installed. I leave the left side open to provide a view into the engine compartment.

Sincerely
Kurt

Hello

Now tension arises again, the front fenders... well before rounding...

...glue with small tabs and color with black ink...I mount small tabs as a guide...

...so the fenders can be easily adjusted.

Sincerely
Kurt

Welcome to the finale

For the final painting using a spray can, the window openings are glued to book binding film using the templates.

After drying, the windows are removed from the film again.

So the Praga RND is finished after 77 hours of construction over 45 days of crafting.

A very demanding model for me, which at times really challenged me.

Not everything turned out as planned, but I'm still happy with the result.

The model building sheet is fully recommended for an experienced model builder.

Thank you very much for the large number of likes and your support, it was a lot of fun designing the construction report with you again.

Kind regards from Styria

Kurt

You've done a lovely job with that Kurt. Not an easy build - thanks for sharing it, it's been very enjoyable watching your progress. Seasons greetings and best wishes for the New Year!

Congratulations Kurt! I have been following this from the start. Not a subject that comes up often in paper or in plastic, and a model with several very visible compound curves too. It is very evocative of the early twentieth century and you can imagine this running slowly round the town along with bicycles and horse wagons.

My only query is does the bus not have windshield wipers?

Congratulations, sir. I can easily find a half dozen places where I would have given up
