Whitman80 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey everybody! I started my second model yesterday and here is what i have so far. Its a Revell 48 Ford Convertible and I plan on working it up to look like a traditional hot rod. Nothing fancy and pretty much bare bone but with lot of detail in regards to traditional styling. Hope you enjoy and I am really looking forward to working on this little project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSilva Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I look forward to seeing how this progresses! If you're shooting for traditional..I would use the bias plys and steel wheels included in the kit. If its a shelf model..you can add some tubing and glue them offset to the inner wheel halves to lower it... The steelies fit the radial tires too, so you can always do that also You building up the flathead with the speedparts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about going with the steelies but opped for the other wheels. Not sure why but I did. I am building the flathead with the power-adders. I am still kinda getting back into model making so I didn't want to press my luck by lowering it. Your 48 Ford, on the other hand, looks amazing. I love the weathered look with the super clean tires and wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Zimmerman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 FYI,if the tires you have on the red rims are the other tires in the kit,they are not radials,but Goodyear tires circa mid 60's.....still a good tire for a traditional build............'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
