Rusty92 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 This is Revell's '56 ford kit. I enjoyed the challenge this presented. I need to go back and repaint the engine, it is hideous. The engine is from Clearly Scale and is really nice. It is a DOHC "monstercharged" 351. Paint is Tamiya X-13 Metallic blue for the body, Tamiya X-2 for the white. Chrome trim is done thanks to Molotow. Thank you for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Very nice job on a much (and unfairly) maligned kit. Goes to show it can be built into a fine model with some applied skill and intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Very nice work. I've always liked that style wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Nice build, it's good to see one of these finished. I have a question about your experience with Clearly Scale. I ordered something from them back in May and I haven't gotten any feedback from them and they're not responding to my emails. I checked my bank and the transaction cleared a few days after I did the order. Was your experience similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Great color choice. Sharp build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Did those BBS wheels come in the kit? I bought that kit specifically for the wheels and it had different ones in the kit! The Revell Toyota MR2 is the same! It shows those BS wheels on the car, on the box but it comes with white finned wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 This is the kit I have along with the chrome parts tree. The wheels are similar but smaller, a different “ring” and separate hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty92 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Firstly, thank you for all the kind words. This build was super fun. Thank you all. @Fat Brian The engine is from Clearly Scale but I purchased it through model builders warehouse and received it in about a week. I have heard to many stories of wait times and no contact issues and decided to not buy direct. Hope this helps and I hope you get your products soon, they are great quality. @Ben These are the kit wheels, and I have the same box art as the one you pictured, not sure why they would be so different. I do not remember them having separate hubs or anything, and I bought this kit sealed.. I do believe mine actually say BBS on them. I will have to look and get back to you.

Thanks for getting back to me, I guess I'll just have to wait them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I just want to put this here for the record since I brought up the topic. My parts from Clearly Scale arrived today and look just as advertised, it's just the lack of contact is a bit concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Great thread to revive. I remember this kit back when it first hit the shelves. I think it came out after the Street Demons release and it is definitely a challenging kit to work with. Hats off to you for great finish Jacob.

I am getting ready to do my next one soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
