gwolf Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Got this nice older AMT '29 Model A on eBay for $4. Body was brush painted, the other parts that were painted were brush painted, but with acrylics it looks like. All the pieces are there except the front bumper. What should I do with this?

Snake45 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Not rare or desirable enough for a complete teardown and rebuild. Paint's not in good enough shape for a "Snake-Fu rescue." If I HAD to do something with it, I'd mix a little tan and/or light gray paint into Dullcoat and start airbrushing it until I'd reached a credible level of "barn find dirt/dust" overall. The yellow would have to go first, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolf Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Making progress. It came apart easily as the orange colored glue had become very weak. I think I'll keep the fenders not his one and go for a two tone paint scheme (no rust this time). This neat club plaque was hiding inside the body of the kit.

Paul Payne Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Salvage is a wonderful thing- not good enough to preserve, not bad enough to scrap- go for whatever takes your fancy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
