Vintage HISPANO SUIZA pics
Posted by Martsmodels on Monday, May 16, 2005 10:41 AM

Hi Guys

This is an old Gakken kit of a 1919 Hispano Suiza Alfsono that I built.



..... I replaced the plastic wheel spokes with wire



..... covered the seats with real leather



..... and changed the plastic 'wood' for mahogany sheet



..... opened the bonnet (or hood if you prefer) with a piano hinge



Hope you like it.

Scale? 1/16 - makes it just over 9 inches overall length.
