I put this together a few weeks ago. It's painted Tamiya metallic blue with a pale blue and white interior.

Hey dub, this one cool build. I reckon channelled phaetons look great.

Another good substitute for BMF is the foil from a block of chocolate, also good excuse to eat chocolate

Started this one about 2 weeks ago. Rolling chassis waiting for the body. Body painted waiting to be finished and interior installed, which is the same colour as the top. Comments invited

This is an Aussie 58 Customline (nick-named a Star model) Ford Australia didn't start to use the U.S style 57+ body until 59 & dropped the large U.S bodies in 61 with the introduction of the Falcon. Aussie 55 & 56 fords were exactly the same as the U.S models, the only differece was that the steering wheel was on the other side We didn't get the Fairlane and Victoria 2 doors. I owned a 58 Mainline Ute for a while, but had to sell it when the family started to increase

Here are two places that sell resin Ford Mainline utes. http://www.scaleautomobilia.com.au/index.htm http://www.oztion.com.au/vshops/item.aspx?itemid=1198742

Yes Jairus, I will definatlybe using a revell engine. I agree they are the best flathead 4 banger.........Frank

I have finished the kit bash. Here is mock-up to make sure everything fits. Now it's off to have mold made for resin casting. What the fender section looks like. The white strip is for strenght until assembly.

Saw it finished at Sandown, voted for it. How did you go?

I wanted a 29 touring to build a model of one I had when in my early 20's (so long ago). As none of the model companies make one I decided to kit bash one. It is a cut and shut of a Monogram 30 Ford touring and a Monogram 29 roadster pick-up. This is what I'm up so far.

I recently bought a an Entex 1/16 Lincoln Deitrich. I have started the build and run into a slight problem. I can't work out how to assemble the wheels. The way it is shown in the instructions is useless. Has anyone done this kit that can tell me how it's done...............Frank

Here's the Lime-Green hornet
