Mike C Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) This is the first time I ever worked in resin and 1/43rd. It's a nice kit. Made in France. It was old so the decals were dried out and you know how they can split when you apply them. Most of them were OK but the NISSAN on the wing split into three pieces. Plus they give you two big silver swatches for the front and rear. But they don't cover all the areas that have to be silver and you have to paint it anyway. So I masked over the green and painted the silver with Testors Alum metallizer. And it would be tough to get those decals to lay flat on the contour. Befor I started the model I also scanned the decal sheet. Plus this kit has PE parts too. I put in real screen mesh in the rear and made the tail lights. The kit gives you decals for the screen with the tail lights printed on them. So here's a bunch of pictures. They should appear larger than actual size on your screen unless you looking on a smart phone. Edited May 24, 2016 by Mike C
cobraman Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Looks very nice. Having just finished a 1/43 kit I know the challenges of building these little kits.
Mike C Posted May 25, 2016 Author Posted May 25, 2016 That looks great. Good job... Who's kit is it?Thanks. It's from a company called Provence Moulage
Gt fan Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 They make some nice stuff. I have the blue checker board version of this car. May have to build it after seeing yours.

I think I know which car you're talking about. When I was looking for pictures of this car I found one like that which I saved on my PC. I can send it to you if you want or you may be able to find it yourself as I found it within the past few months.
Mooneyzs Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Michael.... This turned out very nice. I have a love and fascination with 1/43 scale kits. I have a few that I am itching to build myself. I am a big fan of the Provence Moulage kits.
Hubert Rollins Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Great job on such a small scale. I have enough trouble with 1/25
