Bernard Kron Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 ...I think this kit's flaws are becoming a boon for model builders. The kit is a bit of a compromise between two building versions that would not share as many parts in real life as the kits do. Channeled rods and highboys would have different suspensions, body parts, and even different sized wheels and tires. The kit makes some serious stance compromises, especially to the channeled version. That encourages us to kitbash, and do some serious parts swapping and plastic whacking to make everything fit together. In the end, this is making the builds far more interesting and personal than if everybody just built the kit OOB with different paint. ...An important and perceptive observation. We've already seen an exceptionally large number of variations and personalized builds for such a new kit. Flawed it may be, but this kit is tremendous "grist for the mill".

mod3l Lover Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yeah, that just sits right! And the color is verycool for that car. Also the pie crust slicks workwell for sure, as does the motor choice Happy modeling, David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxdude Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I predict that you won't run out of versions to build until late 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build/Kitbash # 6 is already underway (with an extreme Z'ed chassis...) - Hmm....I wonder when passion for a kit and/or build topic (e.g., Model A Hot Rods) becomes an obsession???
