Good afternoon.

Now that the move to a new home is complete, I have a lot of new ideas too. Some months ago I got a Duesenberg from Monogram, which is a great kit for its age. But theres light and shadow - for example the former owner already scratched spokes for the wheels, but one of them seems to be missing, some other parts as well. Think spare parts are hard to get (or too expensive), so the Duesenberg will get a special treatment, some kind of this:

The kit itself:

If you dont know it already, heres the most.... evil..... rat rod EVER. German engineering at its very best, powered by a 47l BMW plane engine. Can be seen in the Sinsheim museum. You even can roast some Bratwurst with it.

:D

Lucas, I improved the YouTube link.

I have a soft spot for those old Monogram or Johan car kits. Got myself two kits I found for a bargain at the evilbay!

On the video, personally I prefer the Jeremy Clarkson approach!
