Monogram Red Baron

[Can-Con]

I call it a paint by numbers model because all I did was paint it and put it together. No extra detailing, modifications or even polishing out the paint.

Paint is Duplicolor Metalcast clear red over a Duplicolor silver base with Duplicolor clear coat. No polishing. Engine, seats and all details are Testors bottle enamel.

Couple things to watch out for on this kit are the pins on the back of the wheel outers should be trimmed off to fit into the tires properly against the backs and the rear spring mount is called out as plated on the instructions, it's not. I had to get the paint back out and do it 1/2 way through assembly.

I have always loved this kit!  I still have my original build from way back in the late ‘60s or early’70s (?).  I really, really like your build.  The paint looks great!

[Model Guy]

I think any one who builds modles has built this kit at some point its such a classic car looks great!

[Doug 1061]

Way cool.  I butchered one of these when I was a young'un.  I would like to try it again.  

[PappyD340]

   That is absolutely gorgeous! I echo Doug's comment about getting a 2nd chance at this kit.

Awesome build, I love it. I built this in my younger days and I assume it fell victim to firecrackers or BB gun. Man I wish I still had it and all my other models.

Great looking build Steve. Maybe I'll have to pull mine out of mothballs and build it  

[TonyW]

That's a stunning build. Well done. Tom Daniel would approve.

[karbuildr]

Very well done, I like the metalcast paint job.

[atomicholiday]

That looks REALLY good.  The red is gorgeous.  Nice work Steve.?

[DJMar]

That's cool, that Duplicolor Metalcast paint looks great. This certainly brings back memories, as I haven't seen one of these built up in forever.

[ChrisR]

Looks great.

[58 Impala]

Very nice build, cleanest I've seen. Built that kit as a kid. Maybe I'll find one to build.

 

[Rattlecan Dan]

Nice job of an Iconic kit!

[Can-Con]

Thanks everyone.

I did this as a "pallet cleanser" after the complicated, involved builds of the Thunderbird and '32 Chevy delivery.

I'd like to get at least one currently started [painted] projects across the table. Thinking on a couple "fresh starts" soon too such as a '59 Caddy, '37 Chevy coupe or maybe even an early 911.  ?

I haven't seen one of these kits in a while.  Really nice looking build Steve.
