Love these Steve! Are they actual kits?

Looks fantastic.  Great details in such a small scale.

Yes ! Highway Miniatures by Jordan Products...created for the H0 rail road hobbyists. I grabbed a handful of them when a hobby shop closed in Richmond Va about a decade or so ago. Never got around to actually trying to build one until a couple of weeks ago and was impressed by the level of detail and fit of the multi piece bodies. The fragility of pieces like the coupe's radius rods had me wondering how it was even possible for injection molding of plastic.

Impressive being so small. Definitely could save space if that's all you build!!!

That's some impressive work there Steve. They look great. And so small they're amazing.

Thanks Donato...thought I should try to build one or two of those little kits before the sharpness of my eyesight and my manual dexterity starts to fade.

Very nicely done!

I have the Roadster version of the ‘32 still to build.

Most of them seem to be multi - piece bodies...but given the tiny scale they go together surprisingly well. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of detail....the wire wheels on the pick up truck blew my mind...I was afraid I'd lose the finesse if the paint was too thick so I thinned it down to almost a wash.
