Chuckyg1 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Just finished this one. I thought I'd go full fendered to be a little different. The fenders are smoothed units from RMoM, as are the door panels, seat and radiator. Like some others here, I wanted a different engine, and settled for one from Tamiya's 300ZX. Surprisingly, it fit pretty good. Just had to modify the engine mounts. The cone filters came from AMT's '41 woody. Small extensions from the exhaust manifold the to the pipes were all It needed. Tires, wheels & exhaust tips are from the Copperhead concept. Suspension is OOB. Shifter, pedals and out board mirror from the parts box. Gas tank was removed & a roll pan was scratched. Tail lights also came from the parts box. Paint is Testors lacquers, purplelicious & white lightning. Primer is Mr Surfacer 1000. First time I've used it, great stuff. I had a lot of fun with this build. Except for a few minor paint issues, I think it came out pretty nice. Thanks for looking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Well I think it came out pretty nice too!😎 The Nissan engine is definitely different….probably take a ribbing at the car shows eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 That looks pretty slick! Quite an imaginative engine swap as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Nice looking 32. I like it with the fenders. That color looks just right for a Deuce. I'm working on a Monogram 32 and the interior just doesn't fit right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Great looking paint treatment and colors. Like the full fender look. The engine is a departure, but a cool one all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYHARRY Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Nice 32 John. Engine choice is out there but works well on this build. Colours look great and the flames add a cool focus point. Wheel choice suits this model and interior is spot on. Well done. Cheers, David. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
