Beautiful assembly work with this one, really showing off your flare for building these old kits with just the right mix of expectations, man oh man it’s nice to see this subject being built by you! Bravo!

Re: The Duke's Mafioso Contribution...
Thank you Bruce and I apologize for the late response! I'm thrilled to see you pop in. I did get the green color on it, but I need a second coat. Hopefully soon, so I can clear gloss it. Now to get the fenders painted!
Stay tuned, more to come.

Re: The Duke's Mafioso Contribution...
Well, another late post, but then I haven't got much done in awhile. I did get some painting done.
Back when we shot the green on the Perkasa deck, I had also shot the same green on my Packard. The first time it had some dust on it, so I sanded it down with very fine grit:
Later a second coat was airbrushed on. Yes, it looks a bit grainy, but it is a dull color. I'm going to buff it and then gloss it:
That's where I am so far. Stay tuned more to come.

Thank you Stuart! Still working it. Got some more issues with the hood (bonnet), and I need to shoot the fenders soon too.

No. It's the old Monogram Packard Speedster Phaeton kit.

That’s the one. My sister and I each did one from that series in our youth years. My sister did the 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom kit and I did the 1934 Duesenberg SJ Roadster.

Looking good, Mark! Nicely done.
