On October 16, 2022, the Club Modéliste-Québec hosted the 20th Exposition Amicale de Modèles-Réduits at St. Rodrigue’s in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Visitors were asked to vote for their choice of the best models in 16 categories. Here are just a few of the scale autos on display.
Starting with a Revell-Monogram 1948 Ford woody kit, Dany Mailly reworked the rear fenders to widen them so he could drop the suspension to the stance he wanted. He used real wood and detailed the interior for a more authentic appearance.
This awesome little Alpine A110 rally car was built from a Tamiya kit by Christian Guérin. He said it only took him about 20 hours of work to achieve this result. Good work!
Maxime Poisson, a regular at this show, started with a Revell ’69 Chevy Nova kit. He added 3D-printed parts and various aftermarket products to complete his work
Junior modeler Jonathan Roy built this Revell McLaren 570S over a period of 3 months. It was his first time using an airbrush on that project and, even if he had to redo the paint job a second time, it came out pretty well.
Gaétan Chapados can build almost anything. This time, it’s a Revell ASA T-Bird circle track racer. He mixed his own paint color, lowered the suspension, and chose aftermarket tires and decals to achieve the appearance he was looking for.
Josiane Perron always finds a way to amaze us! She built this Monogram ’39 Chevy coupe before giving it a custom, freehand paint job using artist acrylic paint and 2K clear. Nice job!
Doing almost exclusively tuner models, Maxime Poisson attended this year with an awesome-looking RWB Porsche model. Starting with a Tamiya kit, he removed parts of the body to replace them with a HobbyDesign transkit. He then added various details and finished with Zero Paint colors.
Pascal Lusignan is slowly becoming a master at 3D-printing parts. He printed the frame, fork, and exhaust system of his Green Chopper. He then detailed the engine before painting it with PPG automotive paint.
Mixing 3D-printed parts and those found in his spares box, Donald Fontes built this very cool little truck and painted it using Testors Root Beer.
Built by Claude Thibodeau and called Mushroom Deuce, this model was built using parts from various kits in various states. The body shell was a glue bomb MPC 1932 Ford sedan delivery, the frame and grille shell were taken from a Phantom Vicky kit, A Monogram ’41 Lincoln V12 donated the engine, and much more. Plus, as one would expect from Claude, a lot of scratchbuilt details and spares-box decals went into finishing it.
