Brett Barrow Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Realy fun kit to build. Cut off the tabs and fill in the notches for holding the hood down, they'll show on the finished model. Other than that, it's a great kit. Could use skinnier tires and shallower wheels up front, to give it a true period gasser look, but it'll still look good OOtB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captin Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Here is the color i chose for my first willys. i wanted something different i tend to stick with darker color so im branching out a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 This one and the STREET MACHINE version are on Doctor Cranky's TOP TEN LIST OF BEST KITS. After the AMT 66 NOVA kit, it's the kit with the most robbed parts. The engine and the frame, the foot pedal, the moon tank . . . oh, the list goes on and on . . . you are in for a real treat. I am currently building 4 of them. Yes, one is never enough. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixx Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Looking good!!!! I'm also working on one as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 NICE! I love these Willys. Your color choice is going to look great. I have never sprayed the nail polish before, is it normal to be that rough? That looks like a lot of work I have four of the Gasser kits and one street rod kit and have not started one yet, been too busy with the diecasts. I do have four built Revell kits in my collection that were given to me by friends that knew I loved the Willys. I need to dig one out and get started.
