maltsr Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 The Revell 1931 Model A fits nicely on the '32 chassis with just a slight shortening of the chassis wheelbase and a bit of work on the floorpan. I used the flathead engine & chassis from the sedan version, adding plug wires and a fuel block with lines. The bonnet (hood) was joined to make it one-piece. I don't like the treatment of the doors on the real car or the model, so the hinges were removed and the doors modified with strip styrene to fit flush. Wheels are Radirs from a Thunderbolt kit on parts box tyres with hand painted whitewalls, using Games Workshop 'Warhammer' paint. The purple is auto paint from a rattle can and the flames were pirated from the AMT '32 Vicky. The interior features tuck n' roll made with half-round styrene and a photoetch guage cluster and vents from the MCG 1932 set. After building several '32's, it makes a nice change to see a 1930/31 grill
Dr. Cranky Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Wonderful, you finished it. Beautiful results!
CEKPETHO BCE Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Don't see many of those around here. I can definitely appreciate a nicely done Model A
Draggon Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Very nice! The flames work well with your beautiful purple paint!
peekay Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Nice work! Your modifications to the doors really paid off.
Harry P. Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 I like the look of the wide whites... very retro-cool!
randx0 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Nice! I like the colors, the engine and the wheels are perfect.nice job on the doors they usually don't fit very well. great job all around.
