Sylvain - nice job! Question: How did you form the front windshields? As I recall, there are no windshields included in the Superba kits...

Sylvain - nice job! Question: How did you form the front windshields? As I recall, there are no windshields included in the Superba kits... Al Carter Thanks for the kind words! For the windshields, I use thin transparent plastic, cut and shaped as fine as I can. In fact, once the plastic is cut, I curve it between my fingers and then I glue it with Micro Krystal Klear. The Krystal Klear is great for that, as it fills the gaps between the plastic and the body of the car. For the side windows, I either use Krystal Klear or transparent plastic, depending of the car.

Sylvain, very nice! Your paint jobs are very good; they appear to be authentic colors of the chevy's and plymouth's of that era. The chrome trim is nicely done, too.

Thanks again for the kind words! For the choice of colors, I always check this website first… www.autocolorlibrary.com/It helps a lot to find the right colors for these cars.

Sylvain, what do you mean by "additional paint work?" The models look very good, by the way. I'm assuming CMW used the same body casting from their 1950 Chrysler for the DeSoto, and just changed the grill, right?

CMW's DeSoto are very nice models, with very fine interesting details, and yes, they share the same body than their Dodge.
But, to my point of view, a few details are missing, easy to repaint, and interesting to make the model even more accurate: - Chromed lines around the body under the windows, and around the small side windows (same thing for the Dodge by the way). - "Tooth" in the middle of the grill painted in the same color than the body. - Parts (I don't know how to call them) behind the bumpers painted in the same colors than the body. - Sidelights in the grill (I've also repainted the front lights, as I prefer them to be of the same color) - Rearlights repainted: chromed frame and light divided into three parts.

Thanks, Sylvain,
Yeah, I don't know what those body parts that go between the bumpers and the body are called either, but I see what you mean about painting them. And your silver trim paint is exceptional - you must have a very steady hand! And an Optivisor with a huge magnification!
