Paul Hettick Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Here's Lincoln Zephyr. Built from a resin kit. Over 40 hours in body corrections alone but It came out ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wow. These things had gorgeous lines, well captured in the model. Can you elaborate a little on everything you had to do to correct it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Really a beautiful body design and I believe they were V-12 powered. Who manufactured the resin body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Spectacular! I, too, am interested in seeing what corrections had to be made in order to bring the model up to standard. What a classy piece of work I've always like the Zephyr and stock versions are seldom seen in scale so this is a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) “Ok” is a slight understatement. That is a beautiful model. The color seems to “match” the flow of the car’s design brilliantly. Edited January 12, 2019 by Erik Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wow! That's a real beauty! Whatever body corrections you had to do, they seem to be turned out very nice. Overall, a very nice and clean Zephyr, hard to find anything that I'd do otherwise. This is one of those bodies that I'd like to have in scale. I'll have to buy a resin kit to turn it into a Traditional Custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hettick Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Thank you for the positive comments. I will post more builds soon. Been a while since the build so I have probably forgotten some things. The hood was waay to big, had to be shortened and narrowed. The cowl was a mess. the upper portion of the doors were sunk way in. Beyond the warm water straitening method. Where the lower "rocker panel" area met the fenders was very messy. Had to rework the area from below the C pillars along the top of the rear fender all the way to the bumper. the roof was waay to thick. lots of grinding.

Paul Hettick Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 all lines rescribed, new drip rails over the doors and all new side moldings were made. new windshield and rear window moldings (countersunk, that was fun) were made. The sad thing is, is that the basic shape of the body was excellent, with more time spent on the master it could have been an awesome kit. It came from Air Trax of Finland.

geetee66 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Worth every minute you spent on it. Gorgeous from every angle. and that paint!! The shine is a mile deep! Top notch work ( as always!). This is the kind of quality most of us aspire to, but seldom achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
