Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans
Hi,
I finished it now rather quick. Rear wheels are replaced by items from Scaleproduction, they have better details.     WIP you find here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=934810 As a conclusion: a nice model for Opel-Fans, but for sure not a "Must-Have".

Re: Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans
Hello Sportracer,
Like the Ascona. I drove two Ascona's-A. When I ever see a Ascona-A kit I will sure buy it. I like the model and you weathering is just enough and realistic. Did it built easy or not? Maurits |

Re: Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans
Hi Micha, as said before - this one is a great piece of work. I especially like the weathering on the rear mudguards, looks damned real

Re: Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans
Waow !! very nice result ! lights are killing detail !
Although I would see a more black than brown weathering for MC cars, yours is perfectly made !! I wish mine will end up so good ! I still have to correct and cast my wheels, because I think to build the 83 Safari version (not sure though... I would have to use two pairs of 5 spokes wheels with different deepness and I still even haven't modify one wheel...) I see you've found aftermarket rear wheels, can you say more about them ? any reference ? Are they still available ? I can't find them... Will maybe be easier to modify these than the original ones from the kit.

Re: Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans
Very nice as ever, Micha
 The streaks of mud on the mud-flaps killed me! The wheels look a little bit too clean for me considering the amount of dirt and mud on the lower body but I am just nit-picking LOL The overall effect is great!

Did you hand paint the streaks/runs of mud on the mud flaps? If not how did you create them? Great looking model!! Your builds are always an inspiration.

Re: Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans
Thanks for the comments !!
The streaks of mud on the mud-flaps are just brush painted with a fine brush
