At last! Though I had to cut some corners, because the decals for the lines were too fine to handle, I haven't a decent clue about the license plates, and anyway the decals include a numbers-and-letters soup, so I'd better let them out.

Also I made some mistakes on the hood ( those pesky fingers ) but in the end, I'm reasonably satisfied. But I'd think better next time about the scale!

Hope that sophisticated lady please you!

Update: If only I remembered Steph's or Sal's excellent models... I would found a clue about the plates!

Well I was done and dropped the car as I was carrying it down stairs to take a photo of it ugh. i'm in damage repair mode and hope to have a fininshed pic up by tomorrow.

front wheels broke off, windshield disappeared along with the back bumper?? the hood will not set right ugh.

Thanks, Steph. The first one is specially useful. I need only to find the method to make a plate in 1/48... I took a couple of looks at the decals and I promised myself not to get crazy!
So I'll try Photoshop or similar. Also, I'll try to finish the woman and dog which are include in the kit. But better let arrive the holidays for that

Sascha, I know your feelings... Courage! (and a steady hand for the surgery...) Good luck!

Well done Javier...

Checking in, and have to say nice job.

Steph, Love your couple in that old cruiser.

Javier, Nice 'fix', the finished product will be sweet.

Sean and Brian, Your entries are going to come out great as well.

Sascha, You can do it!

I, however, couldn't bring myself to a "hurry up and finish" after neglecting my Oval window beetle for so long and trying to balance the others.
But I was following along and really like what I see.

Great work guys!

Cheers Dave

I hope that I am not to late, here is my finished product.

I enjoyed this build, my first in many years

Nice work guys -
Good to see the 328 and 507 finished, they look neat!

As the Person-in-charge of this GB I have decided to grant a general extension until July 8. If you have started a build get-r done!! Great work all!! I've enjoyed seeing your German Beauties take shape!!

So July 8th!!

Thanks for the support, I am trying but the pieces aint fitting back together ugh and I still cant find the Back bumper or the windshield oh well i'll do the best I can and hope it resembles a car of sorts

Sascha (Ironowl)

Ah ha! That played right into my hands.
Here's more progress on the bumpers. Updating from the 1940's era kit to the 1960's that I'm going for...


and I "dirtied up" the original chrome hub caps because they're now the backsides.
Still going well. No show-stoppers yet. (...and yes, one of my kids was playing with a rubber stamp I have at the workbench.)
Cheers!

I feel it is a shame if effort isn't rewarded (I also needed the extension... )

hello,
thank you for the ribbon and the beautiful campaign.
steph

A little update: Thanks to Steph's assistance (thanks for the links!), Brian's decission to extend the campaign, and the magic of software, here's my lady with plates (it seems the title of a song or a movie) :

PS: Nice ribbon, and thanks for the reward!

surgery is almost completed shes not as pretty as she was but shes done should have a pic up sometime later today

Sascha(Ironowl)

well ive tried three times and I cant get the pics to load soo I will try again in a few hours

Sascha (Ironowl)

Javier looks sweet
Would really like to see a recap of this group build some great builds were completed here
Brian thanks for running it and for the cool looking ribbon

Thanks, Sal, the kit really helps (typical Hasegawa quality). I hadn't any issues mating chassis and body (evil-minded souls, beware!). The decals and some tiny parts were my only source of caution-frustration. The cheat lines were difficult to handle, so I painted those on hood and spare wheel house, and discarded the rest. As for tiny parts, Sascha, after taking the last pics, and trying to place the lady in a safe place, I put one fender and the rear plate out of service. So I expended last night trying to persuade them to come back home...

An enjoyable experience, this group build!
