mrm Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 After quite a bit of time off model building, I need something to get me going again. I figured that the now really hard to get '30 Model A from Revell would be perfect for that. So here is the plan: Build the kit box stock. Definitely outside my usual preferences, but much faster and easier. I am building it with the model A frame and the body channeled over it I am going for the NA tri-carb option and it will stay chromed. Wheels will stay chrome too. Stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 You picked a great kit to jump start your building cycle.I personally am very glad to hear these coupe and roadster kits will be available again later this year.Thanks for sharing.

mrm Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 So after day two, here is the score: Frame and drivetrain is painted in very dark blue. It is almost black. The body was assembled, including the fire wall before it was painted. The color was chosen by my wife and it is a Tamiya aircraft color. Then I decided I wanted to add a accent color to the beltline as seen on some trendy 1:1 rods. It actually looks a lot better than on pictures. The reflections are making it look very uneven. The interior frame was also painted Tamiya "bare metal" and the radiator is wearing flat aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't have much time for models, so I do a little bit at a time after work. Couple hours here, couple hours there........After a couple of hours on day three..... Engine is almost completely done and the chassis, missing only the rear shocks. stay tuned....

Mr. Metallic Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I enjoy this kit, I've built a couple of the coupes already.I really like your accent color on the molding, and the added benefit is that it will help hide the gap between the roof and body. It's a small gap, but on lightly colored painted bodies it's very difficult to hide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Sorry this is coming together so slowly. Couple more hours on day four and the interior is coming together. And the chassis has the drivetrain and the radiator in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
