Invader
California Show Car
Original year: 1969
Company: Doyusha (original from Eldon)
Scale: 1/25
Designer: Bob Reisner
Bob Reisner built six California show cars (all real, working rods!)
Eldon originally made the models for each one, then eventually sold the rights to reproduce 5 of these models to the Japanese modeling company "Doyusha".
"America's Most Beautiful Roadster" is the title won by Bob Reisner's Invader.
I remember distinctly that it was a real, painful challenge for me to build this one...
...then, 20 years ago...
...yes, this build is so old already, well, just not with these wheels.
But exactly this change makes me now happier, though it still is not quite perfect.
PS: There was no dashboard in the kit.
No problem, even one cut from cardboard, with hand-drawn instruments...
Now I would do everything differently from the ground up, with more details and a better paint job, well, if I could get a fresh, untouched kit...
Hope, you like it nevertheless.

! ... This is THE nicest buildup from an Doyusha kit I've ever seen .. and of course your signature tires and wheels compliment it even more ... excellent work my friend ...
