BIGTRUCK

Got the hood to fit back in by building up with plastic strips and sanding. I will need to cut a hole once the engine is in for the stacks to fit .Chassis painted and final stance achieved, back down ,front upwards. Body color still not settled.

This mock-up is a JimmyFlinstone resin body , the rest is a Frankenstein parts lot. Most of the chassis is from the MPC Flip Out Mustang with AMT AWB rear suspension, the front suspension and frame are AMT RatPacker and engine is 427 fuel injected from AMT Mustang GT funnycar. Tires / wheels are parts box. Drivers area is moved back away from normal dash location. Hood cut open and not sure if I will leave it off or modify and reuse,rear wheel wells opened up. Long way to go and more parts to locate..

Nicely done...I like the colors.

This ICM Ford is probably the best part fit and flash free kit I've done. No decals ,chrome or brass parts come in this kit, everything needed to be painted. This Ukraine kit is highly detailed, if I had to do this kit over I would have bought this issue with the two firemen, one being a driver. This is not my normal subject to build but once in awhile I wonder off my comfort path and in this case a stock light commercial build was kind of fun..I cut the hood open on the driver side to be propped up in the open position to view the nice flathead four . Some old timey gold decals would have looked nice in my opinion. The only thing I added was two decals on the rear gauges.

Its a very time consuming kit because of the amount of painting thats needs to be done and cure time before you can handle the pieces. Alot of this kit is the parts count involved just to build one item.The tires and wheels are just on for pictures, and again there are no chrome or brass parts, all paint.

This is the box Carl, not a real popular kit .

Still available.

This one is a very simple kit with only a handful of parts. Body, 8 tire halves, driver, 4 hubcaps, steering wheel , and a canopy. I cobbled up a flame for the jet engine..This kit was originally made to run on a guide string powered by Co2, none of those were in the reissue. Parts that I added : 1/25 scale driver and side deflectors , tire decals and rear wing top. Kit was issued in 1959 and said to be in 1/29th scale. This was a 1997 issue.

Gotcha

From 1972, started nicely. I did not itemize this kit but every part in the box is pictured.. Looking for showrod or drag or ? good builder or kit.

Sealed inside, getting rid of duplicate kits, I built one like this a few months ago. Looking for showrod or drag or ?

Trade off new sealed HotDogger kit for another Showrod or drag car or ? .I already built one like this and dont need to hold onto this one.

Very cool old drag one seater, love that inside tank..

Very cool, the camo markings look super.

I really enjoy seeing the unusual subject..looks great.

Nice, really a great looking build. Not something you see built.

Just like some other model companies we get parts in the box that dont belong to the kit your building , in this case I got the body and body parts to the ICM 1913 Ford model T Roadster .

This is not my usual custom or show rod or even drag but its still an oddball and I like building the odd / unusual stuff. This is a kit I bought 5 years ago from a company called ICM from the Ukraine. The model is a very well done crisp flash free kit. The plastic does have a odd feel to it, almost a slightly pliable feel. No chrome or decals, must detail everything which I dont mind at all.The instruction book is really nicely done also. When I bought this kit, if I remember right, was $35.00 shipped. ICM also offered a firecrew , driver/helper or a standing crew for this kit. I need to buy some extra red paint.

I actually forgot , the one thing I did add was a plate on the rear for the hydrant taillights and added a license plate, it covered up a big gap I didnt care for ..

Box build of the reissue. The only issue with the kit was the plastic.The plastic was washed and air dried , I used Tamiya paint and primer, the primer went on smooth but the paint kind of fogged in certain areas when dry. Light sanding with 400 and repaint made it better , but after doing this repaint 3x I knew I wasnt going to win I added clear and let it ride, you cant really tell where the area is but unless its pointed out . Some detailing in areas and call this showrod done. Let the rear door swing open to view the pup...

I really like your display and nice job on the cars, I love the Big Daddy stuff.

SSP reissue of the 1959 '32 Duece hotrod. Mostly built using kit items except I added taillights,I cut out a piece of clear for a windshield ,most of the decals are parts box and I used chrome discs instead of kit wheels. Radiator and gas cap added. Used epoxy on gauges front lights and mirror. The exhaust was cut apart and installed eliminating 1 pipe , it needed to be 3 per side not 4. If you love to do detailing everything on this kit needs to be painted.

Nice, really a great job..

Its back to normal
