Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!
Limeyglue replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
AMT 28 Ford sedan I've just started. Found the 32 Ford axle fits nice. A bit of work to get the rear axle in. -

Just completed this Revell 30 A. Chopped a bit more from the roof and lowered the front with a new crossmember and shaved spring. Top shock mounts from the Revell 32 Ford and scratch built shocks. Steering moved to cowl to make room for the engine. Engine is an early Cadillac from the Revell 49 Mercury with added ignition wires. Paint is Tamiya dark green rattle can Thanks for looking Lee.

That looks fantastic Dennis

Thank Dennis, its just a shame the rear axle is so far forward if you build it straight from the box. Needs a bit of work to rectify it

He is my completed Revell 40 Ford coupe. Cleaned up the body by removing the handles badges and smoothed the nose. Lowered it a bit more and added the wheels from the Revell 49 Mercury. I also fitted the triple carb set up from the Revell 32 Ford sedan. Paint is Tamiya metallic blue Thanks for looking Lee

Update, Got the chassis together but managed to knock the drivers side header off!! Couldn't resist a quick mockup in paint
-
I used Tamiya gold rattle can and Molotow for the chrome
-
Hopefully!! As long as I don't mess it up.

Not really. Started about a year ago! I only got interested in it again after seeing Ed's body.
-
Its GM aqua metallic no clear on it yet so it will be a little darker one cleared.
-
Small update. Got some colour on the body and parts. Now to add detail paint and leave the body for a few days before clear

I think we all have the same idea. I've got loads on the shelf with parts I've collected just waiting for me to build them.

Started this AMT 34 coupe a while ago. First thing I did was fit a Revell 32 Ford front crossmember and axle and made up some shocks using shortened Revell 29 shocks and chassis mounts. The rear axle was made using centre section from the Tony Nancy drag car and the axle bells, split wishbones and spring from the Yellow fever Topolino with scratch built shocks mounted on an AMT 28 Ford crossmember. Wheels are from 3D scale parts with the front tyres from the Yellow fever and the rear slicks from the Revell 68 Dodge Dart. Engine is from the Revell 62 Impala with scratch built engine and gearbox mounts. The body is from Drag City Casting with the kit fenders and hood. Thanks for looking Lee
