Ira Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Protection! I cut out and added sheet plastic panels to the front of the Roll Cage and behind the Driver. I brushed on some Flat Black Paint and then noticed a couple spots that needed Filling. Instead of using putty I added Formula 560 White Glue to the holes and gaps with a toothpick. After the glue dried I brushed on another coat of Flat Black. More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Moon Tanks! It seemed like almost every Model from the 1960's had a Moon Tank in it. There were very popular back then. I found 2 Moon Tanks in 2 different kits, not so easy to find Moon Tanks in the new kits. Here is one of the Tanks on the left side. Here is the other one. More Coming...

Ira Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 New Front Axle! Unfortunately I broke the Pie Wagon Axle so I ended up using the Axle Parts from Revell's 32 Ford Roadster. I stripped the chrome and sprayed them with Tamiya Silver Leaf. After some minor modifications the 32 Axle fits in real nice. Front View. More Coming...
