High octane Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Que the Screeching!According to the Revell listing for the Eldorod, it will have the "Dreaded" Solid Wire axles. Let the shrieking and pearl clutching begin. I'm ready to buy two of these now. I want one that bad.I display my finished models with the shiny side up, and therefore the solid wire axles don't bother me a bit as they can't be seen unless you turn the model upside down. When I buy AMT kits from the late 50's and early 60's they also have the wire axles and it's no problem for me. I have plans for the Eldorod and look forward to getting one.

stavanzer Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm with you Nick. Nobody but me ever looks underneath anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod3l Lover Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks for the Photos. Still no 'Cadillac' script valve covers, but I like it anyway. I'll need at least two of these. Can we use the valve covers from another motor? David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Since the engine is a Big Block Chevy 'Rat' motor, I suspect that any BB Valve Cover will work. As always though, test fit everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw how well hidden it is with the Foose FD100, and I hope the Cad is as innocuous as the Ford was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfhess Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Is this going to be one of the prepainted versions? If you read the description on model roundup makes you wonder,,We were talking about this at our club meeting last night, that there might possibly be pre-painted versions of the new Foose kits available later, similar to the Camaro/Challenger/Corvette kits that Revell has released previously. Someone noted that there are no visible mold seams on the body of the FD-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm not really interested in this one, but someone please let me know when that air cleaner becomes available in the resin market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm not really interested in this one, but someone please let me know when that air cleaner becomes available in the resin market. That air cleaner style was available from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. Haven't checked recently though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yep....project #773........ #774 the resin repop of the chopped hardtop from the AMT '50 Ford convertible. To bad it hasn't been in the kit since the second release, but it would be perfect for that chopped windshield frame that's already there. (At least I think it would) ??

ChrisBcritter Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 #774-A Then convert the chopped top to stock height and add a back window to have a running start on a '51 Victoria! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 That air cleaner style was available from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. Haven't checked recently though If I'm not mistaken, that "Batwing" air cleaner was also available from Modelhaus in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcaps55 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Nice thanks for the picture I preordered two from Modelroundup already.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 #774-A Then convert the chopped top to stock height and add a back window to have a running start on a '51 Victoria!For that just "borrow" the roof off the Lindberg/Round2 '53 Ford Hardtop kit. With a little surgery to the front using the '49 roof it should be doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfhess Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Cool! Thanks for posting the pics. Will need to find an alternative to the Pontiac grille bar though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I may change my mind on this one. Lets of potential. I can't help but wonder how it would look with the engine, wide white tires and Caddy sombreros from the Revell '49 Merc kit, and maybe the Desoto grill.

Jon Cole Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Is that a printed red ring on each wheel, or a reflection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im brainstorming roofs to graft onto it.... and maybe some taillight options.. backdate the custom look a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm with Rob Mattis on the Desoto Grill. A Caddy Eggcrate style would look nice too. I wonder what the Aftermarket will come up with.I can already visualize a Fastback Resin Body and some alternate grill treatments. This looks like another great Custom Car canvas to play with.Bravo Revell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
