After 4 years and parts from 3 different Monogram kits, it's finished. Yes, it can be done, lol. I added the ignition wires, fuel lines and throttle linkage.

all 1/24th, all have at least an engine if not full detailed, curbsides don't do much for me.
Thanks everyone for the kind words.  |

Nice job on it, especially the detail work. Amazing how small it is when you realize these other larger cars are quite tiny themselves.
Why did it take 3 kits?

The first attempt, I figured I glued something in the wrong place (parts fit is very vague and the instructions clear as mud), then screwed up the body trying to make it fit. Then I bought a curbside version hoping to use the body, never got around to it. Then I got a duplicate of the original, realized I hadn't done anything wrong, just had a warped body. All went together except both rear hatches were warped, so kit number 3 just to get a hatch that would fit.
Now I have an unopened curbside I don't need and enough parts to build a whole fleet of them. I was going to stuff the engine in that 356 you see, but it came with a motor of it's own.
I might just build a Porsche powered Beetle or Kharmann Ghia for fun.  |
