It Wasn't F&F enough.... [PIC]

Spanish company Guiloy issued this 1938 Delahaye 165 cabriolet attributing the coachwork to Figoni et Filaschi of Paris. It is an exercise in teardrop motifs, but lacking in their usually chrome trim and gravel guards that accentuates the design. Unlike a lot of their diecasts, the model's castings were well chased and polished with minimal panel gaps nicely aligned. It did have some decent detailing in the engine compartment and the cockpit so I decided to make the rather drab model a bit more F&F-y. Rather than using foil, I cut out industrial metal tape to give it some depth and painted up the interior in a maroon and black color combo with wood trim. It's stlll not up to a lot of the streamlined F&F body work, but it looks a lot more like I thought it should.
