                        I have just completed building this kit, it is to be included in a WW1 aircraft diorama I am doing. The kit is an old Life Like (1967) kit, it is what you would call a very basic kit with poor mouldings and lacking detail, there were no brass plated parts and the clear parts were badly scratched.I added quite a lot of extra detail and this is what I ended up with.

                        A full build log of this model can be found on my website

                        One of the finest models I've seen here in a long time!

                        This is absolutely museum-quality! Gorgeous!

                        I'm jealous! WOW, what a superb build!

                        I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that everyone take a look at the build log! It's absolutely unreal, the amount of work and the incredible quality of the interior and engine work presented in this model!

                        Really nice work !

                        Makes me wish more of the kits of  early 20th Century thru 1930s autos were re-issued.

                        Thanks very much for all the nice comments, they are much appreciated. Even though I am an aeroplane builder I thoroughly enjoyed building this car, it was a pleasant change.

                        Building something different can be quite refreshing.
