cagman's Landau

A truly great and ambitious model is in the works by cagman. He is modifying an Aoshima Interceptor into the Landau! If it turns out anything like his other models, I think we'll all be very impressed. I imagine that one of the more challenging tasks is scratch building the Landau's unusual front bumber. Here is what cagman had to say about it:

Its made up from a couple of 1/48 monogram p-51 wingtanks, one half of a 1/72 F-15 wing tank cut in two to make the lower part, and the white "top beam" and bumperhorn is plasticard.

More updates to come as his work continues...
