Thanks for all the compliments Fellas! It was a challenge with all the modifications, but probably not as frustrating as trying to get all those door and hood hinges working on a stock build.🤯 I actually got two of these kits and the other one had a decal sheet in it.🙂 So I added the ford emblem on the grill shell and updated the photos. Here’s my original inspiration photo.

Occasionally I like to work on model cars.

I’m calling this one done.🙂 I could do a lot more on it, but I’m not really into the plumbing and secondary wiring stuff. It’s just too fiddley and frustrating for me.🥴 Anyways…thanks for following along folks! I appreciate your support, encouragement and opinions.👍😎 More pics under glass here: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/199849-1931-model-a/

This is the Revell ‘31 Model A Sedan kit with a few modifications.🙄 Paint is Tamiya XF-71 Cockpit Green with Vallejo Jade Green accents and Mr. Hobby Premium gloss topcoat . The engine is from the AMT ‘51 BelAir kit with the Fisher 12 port head option. I had a lot of fun building it…build thread here: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/196266-revell-‘31-model-a-sedan/

Do you have a brand name? How well does it sand? Thanks, Greg.

I had to add some 0.020” Evergreen to the trunk lid to close the gap. And I had to fix the lip above the tail light that I broke while carving a ledge for the trunk lid to sit on. I scribed the door lines deeper. And I ground out the molded in door handles and replaced them with some 0.020” craft wire, and drilled a divot for a door lock.

Primer before paint when building models is an absolutely necessary step I believe that can’t be skipped.

It’s coming along beautifully Bill.👍 I love that blue on it!😎

Nice work blending in that Chevy hood.👍😎

Person of interest is who law enforcement is looking to interrogate.

Known issues with the AMT ‘41 Plymouth model kit can be conquered with a little research and a LOT of perseverance.

It looks great, but I’m thinking those rear suicide doors won’t open without hitting the fenders?🤔 Edit: Just looked at the 1:1 pics…I guess they will after all…my bad.😳

Milsbo glass door cabinet-extra shelves??
NOBLNG replied to Safire6's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I just picked up one of these cases. They go together very easily. I am going to get some more shelves made for it. I can make the support brackets myself. One thing I don’t like about it is the clear glass on the backside, allowing a nice view of the wall behind. My other display case has a mirrored back. I may get some mirror panels for the back too. -
Picked up this ‘53 Corvette for $2 at the flea market. I thought parts were missing but I just wanted the engine. Turns out it is complete and un-started.😁 From taking inventory, it looks to be a nicer kit than the AMT one.
