1959scudetto Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Don't know if I have already posted this one built in 1986: additonal tank and double sleeper parts came from a second kit, bumper is from Revell, license plates Italeri, and the Eagle is hand-painted (no such decals back then) - the orange color I had at hand is a bit too dark, the light brown/beige (eagle) is the color of the primer.

Thanks, Brian - these are the only ones I have made, and in the meantime - due to 2 movings - the lengthened frame is broken in half. So I have to repair this rig anytime in the future... Quote
vincen47 Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 That’ll be a worthwhile restoration. It’s an impressive build, especially with the hand-painted livery. Incredible artwork. Quote

Dutzie Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Great job on the Eagle! These trucks and their paint scheme are truly beautiful. Quote

AmericanMuscleFan Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Very nice build Helmut, the hand painted eagle is very impressive and I love the color combination. Too bad it was damaged during your move, these styrene models don't like to be handled too much but fortunately it's usually possible to make these little damages disappear... ?? Quote

David G. Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Amazing work on the eagle! Your overall build is excellent. With the right background and lighting it could easily pass for the real thing. David G. Quote

Yes, that would be cool. I'm pretty good with art but on 1/25 scale models is all new to me. Decals can be hard to get in the UK and hand painting is pretty much the only alternative. Quote

Kromolly Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 Very nice looking International. I agree with others, the eagle is amazing, and overall the paint is very nice. Quote
