bbowser Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Finished this one up last night. I'm really getting into these brass era cars. This is a really nice kit that goes together well. I used pinstriping tape for the fenders as the decals were too brittle. Searched Google for images and found quite a few with the apple green engine, so that's what I went with. Comments welcome, thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Very nice, I built the Airfix version some time ago, I have the MPC version in the stash, I love these old timers, and you did a good job of building this one .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackvision Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice build! I have the same kit on-deck (the MPC "Bearcats" edition) just lacking the wheels and tires. I want to do it very similar to yours and was wondering the best way to attempt the pinstripes on the hood and fenders,got a pretty good idea how to proceed now!.....................................................Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Looks really great - amazing what an optical lift your pin-striping gives the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice. What kit is this? People are guessing MPC. Is it? Scott Yes it's the MPC kit. The chrome tree had some issues, I repainted the inside of the headlights but missed the inside of the driving (?) light on the dash. The only thing I'm not happy about is the fit of the firewall to the back of the hood, otherwise I'm pleased. Chris, I'm flattered, copy any pics you wish! Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
