Sixties Sam Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 We all like detailed models, but there's something to be said for a simple build now and then. This is about as simple as it gets - the Revell 34 Ford coupe Snap-Tite kit. I bought it on a whim and enjoyed building it. I made a few mods: 32 Ford wheels with vintage piecrust slicks and narrow front tires (painted whitewalls), and a Testors gloss black paint job (I didn't like the factory purple), with orange wheels and orange and tan interior. I added a BMF stripe on the side, and foiled the windshield frame. No mirrors, Harry. None came in the kit and I just forgot about them. I'll add one later. I need to redo the black wash on the grille, too. I hope you guys like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalemodelworld Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Great looking build. What scale is it? Love the diorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Troy, the box says it's 1/25 scale, but it looks a bit small to me. The hood looks about 6 scale inches short, but overall, I think the model looks ok. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
