I'm building the old Monogram Packard Phaeton I won in the raffle at the last IPMS meeting.
First, we primed the body in preparation for the color coat:
This one will be green, but a more vibrant green than all these other military vehicles. While that was drying, we started the engine, getting it assembled completely:
Next, the chassis was assembled and then the engine was added to stabilize the fragile construction. The rear disk brakes were added to check for potential floating wheels:

Re: The Duke's Mafioso Contribution...
I think Mark should build, oh say, 50-75 in six months? What do you think, Don Stik?

Re: The Duke's Mafioso Contribution...
Stuart, thank you.
Cbaltrin, this is going to be Beret Green from the Testor's square bottle.
If I'm to build 20 models; somebody better supply them because almost all my Monogram models are already built. I only happened to get this one in a raffle!
