Chuck Most Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's amazing how much junk you forget all about on your photo-sharing site, isn't it? This one is pretty cool- it's an HO (1:87) scale model of a '39 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery. The bumpers and wheel/tire castings are white metal, and the body appears to be cast from fiberglass resin- it's kind of a 'muddy water' color, and is nearly transparent. It is also quite brittle, as fiberglass resin usually is. Detail is fairly good, but the resin body has some pretty nasty pinholes in the running boards and headlamps. I have no idea when it was produced, but it came two to a pack- The back showed some of Maguson's other products, which were a pretty eclectic mix of HO scale detailing items- And here's a built up example next to the unbuilt kit- here you can see some of the pinholes- I used the better of the two castings to build the black car, the more worse-off pieces are to the right. It's pretty obvious I suck at small-scale projects, but the thing is remarkably well detailed for its size! I actually found this digging around in the aircraft details 'bargain bins' at Dean's Hobby Stop in Flushing, MI. I've never seen any others like it, nor have any of the other local modelers, but I just had to have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
