I’m particularly impressed with the fuel line plumbing, the belts/pulleys, the use of paint metallizers on the wheels and engine area, the paint, the ghost-free decals, the smooth foil work that doesn’t look like foil. Pretty much a perfect build and one of the best Willys gassers I’ve seen posted anywhere. What Eduards PE set did you use? Is it one intended for one of the 1/24 Airfix or Trumpeter fighters? Great idea. Wow. I’m humbled. Thank you so much for your kind words. The seat belts are part number 23002 from Eduard. USAF & USN WWII early 1/24. The belt material is painted masking tape.

Bainford Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 One of the finest Willys gassers I've seen. Outstanding detailing, especially the period correct details. Wonderfully clean work, too. Very impressive. What did you use for the plug wire boots at the valve covers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majel Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 That is a very cool looking gasser. Great detail on the engine, everything looks very realistic. I also really like the seat belt harness, great job on what can be a very fiddly detail. Beautiful model! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpro Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Alot of effort put into this build. The engine detail is very convincing. The interior is really well done and is a unseen highlite of this build that is not seen after assembly. Excellent paint work everywhere. Super build right down to the weights on the driveshaft!
