egor Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Casting looks good, and in view of what originals go for on eBay the price is right, but are those colors correct? I thought the "8" was supposed to be black and the the spear and letter background red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Buick 80C Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Suchan you are correct the rectangle surround around the Buick is supposed to be Red along with the spear and the 8 is supposed to be black. For documentation see Torque Tube Vole XI Issue 4 page 9. 1937 and 1938 Buicks www.1937and1938Buicks.comI used modeler paint, specifically Tamiya Color X-27 Clear Red to get the transparent red effect. A good modeler hobby shop should have it or buy it online at many retailers, here is one option TAM81527 Acrylic Mini X27, Clear Red - Tamiya America, Inc Finishing The trunk badge for 38 also gets this transparent read as does the center of the hood side emblems for 38.

Guest Teamsterdug Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 A friend forwarded a site to me from Ebay yesterday showing an (expired) listing for a 1938 model 47 that had one of these front emblems mounted on the BACK bumper???? Now I wish I had saved the URL so I could show everyone. Quite a sight. An honest mistake I guess but wouldn't you think just a little research would have led them in the right direction? It didn't meet reserve by the way. I just had a thought. Perhaps the car had been dismantled and someone just got confused as to which was the front bumper and which was the rear bumper when they put it all together again.
