    I have a few of these built that I want to re-do.will take a lot of added detail in this scale to be a nice model.heres a few pics that were found on line. it is the largest scale model of a Duesy ever produced for sale.

    nothing looks as cool on a junker or nostalgia rod as a good set of stocker type steel wheels. I have had real good luck casting my own in resin and the details of the wheel are about perfect. I used AMTs 1/16 64.5 Mustang for an original wheel and Firestone tire. about the right size for a rod or 1/18 pickup.

    Super sharp- great color - amazing how good a diecast can look.

    Hi Andy-I have a 1/1 1948 F-1-but its a pickup- I remember seeing a factory F-1 stake bed like this in Salinas back in 1977-the whole truck painted gold! it had the FORD script bed. thats the only one ive ever seen.I think ford offered the stake in the F100 series up till the late 60's.

    how to make this car look better in a hurry-put some more authentic wheels on it!

    modified from a pickup- Ford actually offered these as can be seen in the dealers catalog image.
  14. f1ford48
    bed and chassis modified from hwy 61 46 chev stake bed 1/16. rest scratch built.

    beautiful paint job -I like that shade of green. .also nice detail paint on window mouldings. Province Moulage did a trans kit for the 1/18 BBurago E type roadster years ago in resin- I ordered it and converted the roadster into the Cunningham team Le-Mans car. it is supposed to be a lightweight E type 1964-decals also came with the trans kit.

    yes this car needed your touch-much nicer-heres a silver one I detailed out

    I BUILT THIS CAR ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO-it is still holding up well
  18. f1ford48
    thanks Chuck- I have admired your work for years-especially Modelers Annual features. I could figure out how to build OLD 16- but not how to post the photos!!!! and Richard-for a bio on the car and kits that were available check out the big boys post. Frank S.

    to see the build on this car go to fotki -look up member f1ford49 and album OLD 16. scratch built in 1/16 scale.
  20. f1ford48
    some guy made a 1/25 scale stocker too. he did a great job. these were both custom builds-no trans kits available. heres the 1/25 version
  21. f1ford48
    the holes along the top mouldings on the doors are for the side curtins -as per the real car. no roll up windows on phaetons in 1934.
  22. f1ford48
    the Phaeton was built back to stock.lots of scratchbuilding including a complete interior and dash. the flathead and wheels from 1/18 diecast donors.tires from AMTs 64 Mustang. axles from the Entex model A. the coupe is almost box stock with the exception of steelies-also from entex Model A kit. I would like to ''unchop'' one of these and build it stock like the Phaeton.
  23. f1ford48
    yes the ''Americar''was on it-just took some dark blue paint to get it to stand out a bit more.also black washed the grill-theres all sorts of little tricks that can be done to make these 1/18 cars look better.
  24. f1ford48
    thank you guys-yes the realism is what its all about. to Scott Kobus-the paint I have used is called modern masters metal effects iron paint www.modernmastersinc.com is pretty much non toxic FS
  25. f1ford48
