Erock Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 My build of Revell's '29 Ford Roadster. Not happy that they cheaped out and included white wall decals instead of pad printed tires. The decals are all cracked. I know, I probably should have cleared them. My fault I guess 7
SpikeSchumacher Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 White walls aside. that's still a very nice build ? 1
Lobo2me Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Bummer on the whitewalls! Excellent tidy build and nice color choice. Love the shifter eyeball! 1
Jim B Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Nice looking Roadster. Well done. Bummer about the whitewall decals, though. 1
XYHARRY Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Nice roadster Eric. Are you sure the white walls are cracked? It looks to me like hair has gotten stuck to it. Well done on this and thanks for sharing. Cheers, David. ?? 1
Yeah Nah Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Great job! Those neat hubcaps come with the kit? 1
Zippi Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 I like these little 29 Fords. Pretty kewl looking build. 1
bobss396 Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 I have painted them on with great success. It helps to have a tire with a recess to border the acrylic paint. The old AMT blackwalls were good to use. I would wash and scrub the tires with hot water and dish soap. Then do the painting, sometimes it took a couple of coats. 1

karbuildr Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Very nice rod, I like the paint and engine details, cool build. 1
Flatout Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Cool little Hot Rod Eric…that blue really looks good on it. Did you apply the whitewall decals before or after you mounted the tires on the rims? 1

ea0863 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Totally great build. Just needs a little blowing off, and I'd call the cracked whitewalls part of the charm! 1
