My second completed build after a bit of modeller's block.  Good to be building again

It's the Revell Cherry Pie kit, with a bit of kitbashing.  As with a previous build, I modified the doors so that they fit flush a la 1932 Fords. The chassis is from the AMT Phantom Vicky, but using the front suspension and flathead engine from the Revell '32 Ford Sedan.  The wheels are my current favourite, 'Sovereign' by the good folks at Pegasus.  Paint is automotive lacquer with Tamiya clear.  Plug wiring and fuel lines add a bit of detail.

Thanks for looking.

After a short hiatus I seem to be back in building mode again, so in an effort to keep the momentum going I'm braving a thread in this section in the hope that I will keep this going.

This is the old Cherry Pie kit, but as with a previous 30/31 build I have made the doors fit flush a la '32 Ford for a cleaner appearance.  The chassis is from the AMT '32 Phantom Vicky but using the Revell dropped front axle/batwings from the '32 series.  The wheels are my current favourite from Pegasus.  Hope I haven't upset any purists

This is my entry in this year's Cannonball Run CBP.

I'm quite happy with the result, started with the Revell '65 fastback, added the engine from the '98 Saleen convertible, wheels/tyres from a Fujimi RX8 Mazda and a few bits of Mustang Model Car Garage photoetch including grill, fuel cap and glovebox motif.  Extra fuel cell and battery box are from the AMT '32 Phantom Vicky.  Front half of exhaust is Saleen, rear section from base kit.

Paint is Tamiya Metallic Orange with flat black hood. And yes, I still have to add the upper radiator hose
