Herr General, ihr Auto bereit ist
Or in English. "General, your car is ready" ICM's Opel Admiral. Several issues over the build, see the WIP thread if you're burning to know.
I didn't like the folded top, it stuck up like a country dunny, so I've shaped some plastic, covered it with tissue & paint.
Period is 1940-1, when the war was going well for the Germans, and this is a senior Luftwaffe officer's staff car, somewhere in France.
Lightly weathered to reflect a muddy perimeter track on an airfield.

Well done. Looks like a Chevy 6 under the hood.

Thanks MP, the Chev, Opel, and Holden 6s look very similar.

Ha! I'm going to blame the google/ whatever translator I used. Don't tell me I just offered to buy someones daughter?
My German comes from panzer & luftwaffe model instructions, and the odd(ahem) 'adult' movie: "Das ist gut, das ist fantastich" or similar!
