Yupp!! That works too!!

The paint doesn't necessarily have to be glossy, even though glossy does look better (my opinion of course)!

Hope to see join in!!

Sadly the italian "bella machinas" are basically non-existing in scale, I'd kill for a Fiat Regata, Croma or Alfa Romeo 164 in 1/24.


So do I see a bit of scratch building coming up on your horizon??? Would be awesome to see!!

Hope you find something and join in!!


Oh, building a german car is not that complex. Wolf, VW "Beetle" and two 170V are in the stash. The latter two can be done as post-WWII (the changes are "under the hull") one as a civilian the other as a police car.

The 170V was well liked by students in the 1960s (Beetles where still "pricy" compared to those then youngsters) so one in "Hippy colors" should work as well
