No, not the first 3 pics, that was a piece of cake, the 3 under, tough one to knock out, clay bar wouldn't work, buffer would wreck it, had to take my time and do by hand............never again.

I've got the Franklin Mint Captain America chopper. VERY realistic model. Anyway, I took it outside, set it in the middle of the culdesac and took a bunch of photos of the thing until I got the perspective just right.

I mailed them around my job and had everyone believing I'd actually bought a replica. 😂

Looks good Norm! I'm still looking for a couple model versions of old cars I used to own to put in the office display.
Already have the GTO and T-bird turbo.

All close but not the same green except this one. It has the Fuchs wheels (not period correct) but if it had the Pedrini wheels....
