Just finished this one. The paint did not turn out the best but still looks pretty good. Tried to clean it up with the trim work made as a completely stock 300 C.  H

It looks fantastic, both as a model here and as the real Chrysler car.

Looks 100 times better than I'd ever be able to do with building a model.  I don't have the skill or the patience to build them.  Never have!

Thanks, to all.  Just realized, my photos have a lot to be desired.

@carsman1958 John, don't worry about those photos, do what I do..... If you want 4 "good"  pics, take 20, then narrow it down to the best 4.

Also, you could add just one more bit of detail to your '57 Chrysler that MANY simply omit, despite being oh-so-easy-to-do.

With your small detail brush, add just a bit of red paint in the centers of all four wheelcovers. There's really no way to mess this up because those small circular reassessed areas act as a paint guides. Just paint "within the lines."  😏 

Again, just a suggestion. Post pics. 😀 😎 

Chry 57 300c

@chris Thanks for the input.  I missed doing that.  I will get it down and finish it up.  Thanks again for catching.

I love it and I believe that red color is original... I think it might have been called go Gaugin Red... I'm not sure my talk-to-text feature is not working very well tonight. 

Sorry, 

Steve
