Monogram kit and decals ( gotta love working with 30 year old kit decals). I modified and resin cast a new nose piece for this as the kit nose is completely wrong. Tamiya paints

That nose looks fantastic. Are you looking to produce more noses and sell them? |

I’ve never thought about the nose being incorrect on that era Buick. Great catch. I’d buy a couple as well. That looks so much better than the box stock version. |

Yes, that nose does look better, and the paint looks awesome too. You did a great job with those 30-year-old decals as well. They look fresh as new. |

Great looking Buick. And I also love that resin nose, so much better than the kit nose. _________________ I may have to grow old, but I refuse to grow up |

Wonderful job, making 30 year old kit decals work, they were hard enough when new. |

Always liked the look of this car on the track. Never liked to kit nose. I have this kit and a resin nose that I had gotten from someone to build this car. Yours looks great. Hope mine turns out close to this when I get around to it. Wish someone would do aftermarket decals for this car and the red version. Again, yours looks great. Thanks for sharing. |

Incredible work! Do you happen to have any of the noses for sale? |
