wrenchr Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 That looks killer, have not had one of those kits since I was a kid. Been wanting another one pretty bad, this makes it worse...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Rodney Rat Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Nicely done, on my short list of cars to build.... -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Nice! I could have used those dump headers on a Willys gasser I'm working on right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Fabulous! Very possibly the nicest Henry J model I've ever seen built. I've got a Skip's Fiesta issue of this thing somewhere in the Snakepit; you're making me want to dig it out and slap it together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Windows part way down, love it. heard this one is quite fiddly. Would love to have one of them in my stash though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've given thought to building this car several times. When I was a kid the Saints version of this car had just come out. Looks like I may have to pull the trigger after seeing this fine build posted. Great work here Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodbuildNY Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Like many of you guys on here a lot of these models I either built or lusted after as a kid. Funny thing is as an adult builder having a chance to do them you realize some of these kits weren’t really that nice lol ... but for me that’s part of the challenge to make them right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the Revell Street Demon themed '54 Chevy Panel Wagon from the early 80's and did I find out just how true that statement of yours really is. Really tough to build and pull off with any kind of decent outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I don’t know how I missed this one when you posted it. A very nice Henry J. I have a love/hate relationship with this kit. I found it to be a pain to build when I tried building one 50 years ago. But, with the recent re-release, I’m going to try it again. Despite what my friends in the MCCM (Model Car Club of Minnesota) have to say about the kit. (None of it good.) I hope it turns out half as good as yours did.

Zippi Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 That's a good looking Gasser. This shows that a good looking model can be built from this kit. I've read all the negitive posts about the Henry J and still want one. I like Gassers and it's a Gasser. Looking forward to the challenge when this one hits the local hobby shop.

It was basically same scenario for me. Built one back in early eighties when I was younger but wanted to build another now that My skills have gotten better some 30+ years later lol. Sure it’s a fiddly old Revell kit but I’ve certainly built worse and sometimes I enjoy the challenge of making it better.

I love gassers as well and felt I had to have a good looking Henry J gasser in the collection. Bad reviews/opinions aside, it can still present well.

Looking forward to the challenge when this one hits the local hobby shop. I've always preferred the old kits. More now than ever because technology and good company owners have cleaned up the notorious flash and poor registration. Sometimes I'm tickled to find how fresh and clean some of those tired old kits have become. Couldn't pay me to pick up an 80's vintage repop. Crossing my fingers on what they've done for this one.
