Has come up really well. Nice to have a 1/25 Imperial considering they were ignored by the mints. I really like the body color grille. Google image search did show cars close to both used external and internal colors.

That looks great. Excellent color. I always liked these early Imperials, it would have been nice to have one from the Mints.

thank you very much gentlemen your comments are really appreciated, only a couple of minor stuff ups on this. I actually completed this at the same time I was doing the 1887 Benz, as I just had to wait until a glued part had completely dried on the Benz before I could move onto the next one it was so delicate.

Nicely done. Love the base and the model’s colours really suit this fine automobile.

@david-green thanks David, here are the colors I tried to match it to. Both mine are a bit lighter, and I left black fenders, but I was hoping the combo would work.

maker details,such as your motivation for color scheme(s) gives us the opportunity to see these pieces more like you yourself see them 👍 👍 👍 👍

Geoff, this is one beautifully done.  I too like the body-colored grill.

Geoff, your work is magnificent.  Well done!  Your results could be placed as the definition for the term "classic."  I build in a much smaller scale but your results impress me enough to make me question my future project.  Many thanks for your fine post.

thank you so much for your supportive comments David. I always check 1/43 forum and appreciate your historical research and information. I have about 40 1/43s and will add more over time. Especially vehicles that we'll never see in 1/24.
