I like that. And AMT has some nice blue line slicks that could approximate those rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Here’s the one I built back when the kit was introduced. It went together well and was fun to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If this kit had fenders, I'd be all over it. Still might be good for parts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly something I'll be considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Rodney, your four Model A Hot Rods look simply killer....like Dave, I especially like the dark blue trad style '30.....congrats! TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So, I didn’t see this specifically addressed in the various other Revell 2020 threads that got closed...but with all the Corona stuff happening is this one likely to be delayed?

Between all the Revell Ford Model A abd Model B kits, there are a lot of options for all sorts of swaps. I'm gonna try one with the AMT '32 Vicky soon.

dino246gt Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I built this when it first came out, years ago, can't remember what I kit bashed but I DID use a Caddy mill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Dennis, that is outstanding, as well. Caddy Mill is a great touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I know most of you aren't into hot rods, but when Revell issued their new tool Model A series it was the best thing for us rod builders since the '32 series was introduced in 1996. When the tooling was mishandled (not sure we'll ever know the full story), it was devastating (as devastating as something such as that can be in the grand scheme of life and death). Today, I received the new new tool '29 roadsters in the post. I bought four and gave one to KK... -RRR New decals, too!!!

High octane Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hmmm, I still have two of the previous release of the '29 Model A Roadster, so I don't think that I'll be buying the new issue. Be sure to wipe down the box before handling as it did come from across the pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 looks like globs of glue on the bottom of the decal sheet; is that supposed to be simulated rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This kit is different than the first issue IIRC....isn't it a different engine?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 17 minutes ago, Roadrunner said: If only they did it with full fenders,... Are the fenders from the Revell '29 truck the same? If so, shouldn't be too hard to rustle up a set. Or how about the fenders from the AMT '29? There should be plenty of both in the spares boxes of the gang here.

Rocking Rodney Rat Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The engine in this kit is the 3x2 carbureted (sp?) or blown SBC that was in the '30/'31 coupe version originally. This kit also has the chrome wheels and knock-off spinners from the coupe kit (as well as the steel wheels, trim rings, dog dish caps that were in the original roadster kit). -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I like the dry lakes lettering and "Paso or bust" decals. Cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
