maltsr Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Finally got one of my Holy Grails. Not in the best condition, but hopefully salvageable. Body is unpainted, steering wheel is missing so will have to raid the partsbox. Came with only three original wheels/tyres (free to anyone who asks), but I already had different rolling stock planned....

disabled modeler Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I could use the wheels/tires from it. I am a wagon nut. Edited February 10, 2014 by disabled modeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 This will be an interesting build! I just completed the same kit a couple of weeks ago. Your wheel and tire choice looks much better than mine, I can't wait to see how it turns out. Are you going to use the kit's original interior that is...Well, a bit simplified. I scratchbuilt new door panels and trunk for mine and modified other parts. It turned out pretty good, and it was not an impossible task to do.

maltsr Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Finally got around to building this as an entry for a wagon build in another group. I'm building this one OOB (other than rolling stock) because I have got my hands on an unbuilt kit for a more detailed version. Anyways, painted with a base coat of Tamiya Gloss Alumnium and panels in Light Gunmetal.... ...followed by clear red.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Paul, don't forget the two chrome strips across the back glass. You could add strips directly to the back window, the kit doesn't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Beautiful paint work. Makes me think of the paint job I want to accomplish on my 41 Chevy pickup, but in shades of blue. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Paul, don't forget the two chrome strips across the back glass. You could add strips directly to the back window, the kit doesn't have it. Good to know; ditto the strip below the lettering.

Bob Ellis Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I have to see how that tail gate and window work in real life. Too bad this kit is now missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I just checked out the '61 F85 wagon. It appears some of the F85s had those chrome strips on the rear window and some not. So, building the kit either way is correct. I never owned or knew anybody that owned this car, but it appears these chrome pieces are part of an optional opening rear window.
