PANHEAD?! :shock: If so, I'll have to get one!
I thought they all had the same EVO engine. Here's my Crusader kit's engine, for comparison to your pieces.
Nice tuners, Nick! I like the CF hood on the Integra - breaks up the color nicely.
That RSX looks great 'bagged to the rockers. Nice interior work too!
Very cool, Zoli!
Yup, Andy, I think there may be a "Maryland Style" emerging here. This one, Sunchaser, BlueByU...
Keep it up, guys! See youse all at NNL East.
I got the jones to do this while reading Andy Southard's book "Hot Rods & Customs of the 1960s" this weekend. Towards the back there was a fendered Model A roadster channeled to the running boards. I've been wanting to do a deuce like that for a while, so I pulled a 1/24 Revell "Motorworks" roadster kit off the shelf and got to this point after 30 minutes.
I still have to trim the rear fenders up to match the lower body reveal out back, but I like the look of it so far. Color plan calls for suede black paint with a gold engine & interior. Chopped windshield and go-fast goodies from the 1/24 '30 Woodie engine.
I usually like a contrasting firewall, but with the plan being a white engine, frame and top insert, I might go with a body color firewall in this case. Or what about Alclad chrome?
Either way, you can't lose - This hot rod is too cool!
I like it, Steve! I like the tall front tires - they work well with the rake of the body, IMO. The paint work on the tires is a vast improvement that really picks up the sidewall detail. Front and rear suspension setups look great. I think your idea for the grille will work well (although I'll remember Monoped's method when I have to section one next time!) Key Lime - yum.
Thanks for the great review, Bill. Not sure if I'll buy one yet, but I definitely look forward to everyone's builds - Magnum, Charger & 300-based! I like the addition of the guitar too. Nice job, Revell.
