beautiful models of equally beautiful cars here, thank you.

@geoff-jowett Thank you so much, dear Geoff

Gorgeous models of wonderful works of art. Thank you for sharing.

@bob-jackman I'm happy that you love my models. Thank you Bob for visiting )))

@hobbydragon   Love the Chapron '39.  Thank you for helping me acquire this model.  It is truly a gem in the group and I would like to find the Heco at a reasonable price, someday.

@gdh really glad that you love the model))) I'm here if you need anything else

1/43 SPARK MODELES 1939 DELAGE D8-120 CABRIOLET BY FIGONI & FALASCHI⁠

Great comparison - I guess they are 2 different 1:1 cars?  Several small differences....

@karl that’s exactly the point: there is only one original car, and the only explanation that I could find is that the models show it in different years of existence. In any other case there are simply inaccuracies in reproduction…

@hobbydragon  The one on the left is reminiscent of the '37 Packard.  The one of the right is more inline with the Delage radiator surround, IMHO.

  Spark also did a narrow radiator surround in their Aerosport, which I have.  It is very much out of keeping with the others I have.

@hobbydragon   Have you ever seen this Minichamps model, in 1/43 scale?

@gdh we both do have it))) I've posted mine here earlier
