Revell 1929 Ford Model A Roadster

[Erik Smith]

Here is Revell's devious please-take-everything-else-off-your-bench-and-build-me 1929 Ford Model A Roadster. Mostly box stock - different wheels and tires and velocity stacks added...

Great kit

NIce work, I love your interior pattern.  Your description is right!  I did just that, I moved everything aside and build mine in two weeks without stopping.

[Ramfins59]

Great job Erik.  So far I've resisted the urge to work on my kit, but I do have some serious plans for it and am accumulating some parts for it.

[Speedfreak]

Very nice I like it a lot Erik. 

[GTJUNIOR]

That's one very cool '29!

[ChrisR]

[58 Impala]

Excellent build, good color choices.

Man that's some great work Erik! Among the other details I really like the interior trim designs. Wow!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Supremely clean little '29. Looks like a car that was built to be driven hard and enjoyed...the essence of a real hot-rod.

Wow, that is nice!  What did you use for plug wires, they really look in-scale?

[Mr.Zombie]

Wow, how clean!

[wayne swayze]

Beautiful build! Love the tires, wheels, wiring, colour and interior! Sweet hot rod!

[Jairus]

That is very nicely done!  10/10 if it was a box art model.  Changing out some of the bits were an improvement to be sure.
But what really excites me is the high quality photography.   This guy has skill!

Beautiful model Erik. What tires did you use...?

Thanks Carl - rear tires are from the Revell Rat Roaster with Fireball Modelworks decals - fronts are from the parts bin with vinyl whitewalls.

Thanks Bruce - I think the wires are Detail Master - they were in my wire stash and loose, but pretty sure they are the race car diameter wires. 

 

Thanks for for the comments! I learned a bit about the kit too and plan to do another!

[JTalmage]

That is an absolutely gorgeous build Erik. I mean really, it's stellar. Super clean. I'm guessing the rear tires are rat roadster tires, and fronts are AMT parts pack? I also love the decals on the seats. Are those from the kit? I dont recall what was on the decal sheet myself at this moment.

[Lunajammer]

Absolutely superb. Scuff the tires and put it in Real Or Model.

Yes, rear tires are from the Rat Roaster with Fireball Modelworks decals. Front tires are from AMT - don't know which or where...the whitewall is vinyl decal. The decal sheet is custom - I just find a pattern image I like, print out on decal paper and, for this kit, use the kit decals to cut them to size.

Beautiful work!  Now I want to start on mine.
