This is a nicely-done 1941 Chevrolet coupe done quite a while back by Universal Hobbies/Eagles Race

Except for the sealed trunks (which I haven't yet cut out on mine ), this coupe and the convertible are better than the Welly  '41 Chevys.  Nice pics.

@chris I had heard years ago that ER/UH actually used the same mold, but one difference was that Welly's had a sealed trunk area and only was done in convertible form. A 1941 Chevrolet is pretty cool to get in any case and they can't be very common as restored 1:1 either.

@mikedetorrice The Welly (w/opening trunk ) and the Universal (with sealed trunk ) are different tooling.  Bur as you noted, the Welly was only offered as a convertible. The Universal was produced as convertible (top up or down ) and also as a 2-dr sedan.

Beautiful convertibles ! It is interesting that they both decided to do a 1941 Chevrolet, although I am certainly happy that Eagles Race decided to do this one.

@mikedetorrice Yes, the Eagles  are heavier & better except for the sealed trunk.  Here's my two. I've always thought that between these 2 and 1 Welly  I could create ONE better (or best ) 1/18 1941 Chevrolet.  Project #129  🙄 😔 🙄 

P.S.

I never realized how terrible my door gap is between the roof and door frame until I took this pic.  Yours doesn't look as bad. 🤔 🤔 🤨
