The
model initially, generally OK with minor inaccuracies in contours but
lacking authenticity especially in the rear window shape. However, this
model can be regarded as a successful one considering that no
blueprints are available today. The dashboard, front grille, door and
window handles, gear shifter and wipers details for 1/43 are excellent.
Kudos to Autocult for this rare model.

I split the model.
 |
|
The
rear lamps had a surrounding chromed bezel which the original car did
not have, but were sold as aftermarket accessories.
|
|
I shaved the
protruding frame of the bezels and applied putty in the gap between the
bezels and the body.
|
|
I applied testing primer at the
rear.
|
|
I
painted the central part black, and applied flat white sticker folio on
the inside panels. I had covered with artificial white leather in the
real car.
|
|
I
painted the fascia panel black.
 |
|
I
painted the floor inside flat black and applied some white dust on the
seats.
 |
|
I painted the body black.
 |
|
I applied Maskol on the clear
parts and painted the headlight bezels red.
|
|
I painted the
stripes on the body red and prepared the Hittite deer emblem as decal,
and applied on the body.
 |
|
I assembled
the model. Here are the finished photos...
