This came from a Gent’ and board-member, Raypunzel.
I believe it’s a casting by another member- Roger Corrie. It’s an excellent rendition in a great scale- closer to HO than many others.
Ray did an excellent clean-up job on the body and laid the decals down straight and flat. I’m sure it wasn’t that easy. He also did the bumpers.
I can only stake claim to about 10% of the work here, as it was just about how you see it here when it arrived.
I cleaned up some war-wounds, touched up the decals, painted silver window trim and door handles, plus repainted and black-washed the front grille to bring out some more detail.
Also, I polished the bumpers to offset them from the silver painted bits.
A chassis with some period style wheels and a full clear-coat finished it all off.

I’m really pleased I got such a nice piece that still left a little room for me to add my stamp.
Thanks so much Gents-
These guys did a great job and deserve the Kudo’s.
Cheers..
