Monogram Tom Daniel SweeTee

Recommended Posts

Since I've been restoring early Monogram kits I figured now was a good time to build one right out of the box with virgin plastic , and it will look great on the shelf next to the Boss A Bone I finished a while back !  This SweeTee is an unbuilt survivor I bought back when it was first released and have managed to hold onto along with a couple dozen or so other kits .  This will be built straight out of the box with just a bit of detailing so it should go together pretty quick .

  First task was to glue the engine halves together , then sand and polish the main parts .   The sanding and polishing sticks make quick work of this .

I made some quickie decals for the tailgate and the radiator shell .

Nice one Bob, I look forward to the next episode! I did the same on my Aurora Dune Buggy build, washed the kit, added the body decals and gave it two coats of clear gloss.

This is THE best designed t-bucket kit I've ever seen. Very tasteful and nicely molded. You did a great job on this. Uhhhhh, you don't have any more that may need a good home do ya Bob?

It's definitely got the look from that time period .  And I've got a few but they seem to be happy here . :)

I'm not familiar with this kit but it sure turned out great. I might have to look for one of these.  

Good luck , they go for $100+ if you can find one !  That finished one that's posted isn't mine .

Moving right along , the engine and chassis are coming together .  Even after building a few of these those suspension pieces still can be frustrating , especially with these old fingers !
