Haven't a clue who built that Jimmy but I think they are Carlo decals,
Looks to be a class build, nice finish and detail,

At first I thought they were Xav's decals which are very very rare, then realised that Xav's Cyril Bolton decals were for the Manx not Donegal, so I would say that these are someone's own made decals.
Is it for sale??

Like Colin said it does look well built, I personally would pay £65-70 for it

If the white decals were proper white decals then it would be worth more

Lads to be honest the model isnt mine. I was passed it over to see if anyone knew anything about it. Fella that owns it paid big money i believe.

Re: 6r4 Metro Who Built it??????????
I agree with Simon. It's a shame the decals on white paper aren't better made else it would pass off well as a good model!
My decal-making is improving to the point that I have matched up some yellow paint for my Glomma Papp 6R4 to cover and area of the windscreen surround which didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I've covered the 'black blob of doom' with a yellow decal I'd matched on my desktop publisher and you can't tell the difference between the paint and the decal!
Seeing as I'm never going to get some genuine Xav decals, I might as well get on and make my own Cyril Bolton-mobile! Once I've converted the windscreen wipers and fitted them, the Jan Arthur Iversen 'Glomma Papp' 6R4 will be complete and I'll get some pics sorted. Watch out Paul or Dave - piccies heading your way in the next week!
Cheers, Steve

Absolutely looks nice from this end.Hampton Caught wrote:I agree with Simon. It's a shame the decals on white paper aren't better made else it would pass off well as a good model!

Fair enough.
The light from the camera plus being up close perhaps more than you would if looking at the model on display means that a phototgraph can be more critical than the human eye in natural light would be. Hope that makes sense!?
Whoever first said 'the camera doesn't lie' way back in the mists of time clearly didn't do their research very well!

Hello Simon nothing wrong with your pc mate. Ive taken the pics of because only reason the car was put on for a wee fella i know in coleraine that asked me if i could find out who built it. No one seems to know and the model got nothing but picked at. So thought take the pics of. In all honesty im sitting looking at the car and cant see where the colour was matched on the decal but yet the camera seen it lol...Simon6R4 wrote:Photos have gone???? or is it just my pc, can anyone else still see them?

Good evening chaps, and apologies for my delayed response to this topic but I have been away on holiday all week in Cornwall...
I missed this totally Jimmy, and would really like to see what you've been showing the others. I appreciate that you might not want to re-upload the images, but would you mind emailing me a couple of photos so that I can see what I missed? Here's my email address mate...
