FordRodnKustom Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) This kit has been a grail of mine for many years and recently I was able to acquire this clean builder. (thank you Steve!) As it arrived in my shop in NW Florida from the UK I had to source a few rare missing parts and was glad to find them. Finished it today, sort of a nostalgic box art type build. Straight out of 1959! Looks great on the shelf with my other vintage Monogram builds. Edited December 17, 2017 by FordRodnKustom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janne Herajärvi Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Its nice to see that someone builds these old kits, and makes them to look like box art builds.. Making modern style street/show rod out of this kit would be so wrong... Keep up great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an unopened tube of the very same glue, tube is still pliable so guess that = usable or is it something for the vintage collectors on the 'Bay' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Marischal Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Ron, It occurs to me I may have some of the original decals stashed away. Do you want me to see if I can find them? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thank you all! I really appreciate your good comments on this build! In this day of super detailed and accurate type builds it's great to see that this style is still appreciated in our car modeling community. Thanks again!
