1/32 scale Lindbergh 1915 Model T Coupelet
I had finished this the weekend I returned from Ottawa.
It's a fun & challenging build. Only 4 inches long 2 inches wide. The frame was warped and I didn't want to chance straightening it in hot water due the delicate frame. So yeah.... it looks lopped sided on one side. Typical Lindberg kit I suppose...

LOL! Good one.
I did forget to mention one thing. It had gold chrome sprue tree. ICK!!!!
There’s no way to touch up the snipped/trimmed spots on the parts once off the sprues. I opt to simply strip it all in bleach and airbrush it using Tamiya Gold Leaf instead. Good enough for me.

I know, right!? There are 1/24 scale kits of these early automobiles of the 1900s. I've got an eye on a couple I've been wanting to do. Hopefully, I'll find something at the upcoming Syrcon 34 this October.
I do have the 1/72 scale WW1 Pigeon bus in my stash though.

Interesting kit! Well done, too. These have always intrigued me and usually beat me down pretty hard. Good work.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I sure like it! Nice little car! I am also looking forward to you starting that pigeon bus. It's the only Roden 1/72 scale bus I don't have!

The car turned out pretty dang good and it's a great subject Tom. Sucks about the warpage issues but I hear ya....sometimes that's a lot of work to fix.
