Ace-Garageguy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The real '36 Ford hood opens like this...not easy to do with a model in 1/25 scale. One of our members built the model in this video, and if you watch, you'll see that if you fit the hood sides carefully and glue them to the hood top, you can remove the entire hood assembly to view the engine.

southpier Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 if you've got the courage, there are photo etch piano hinges available. seems like they go together pretty easy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p38PUBZFdsY&list=UUOHpekq5a9k31BvF3I57yCg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3bqKP6UFKQ&index=27&list=UUOHpekq5a9k31BvF3I57yCg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
