Flatout replied to Jason Foster's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice work Jason...great job getting all the body parts lined up. Looks great with the shortened bed. -
Greg...that is a stunning T-Bird! Nice work.

Very nice Jason...this and the other 3 models you posted are all well built. Killer paint and color combos plus the Alclad looks really good too. Aloha..Pete

AMT '63 Corvette Drag Car (Street Rod Reissue) *PICS*
Flatout replied to bondo bill's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Very Cool Bill...Just picked this kit up the other day and was wondering how the new decals would look on the car...Thanks for sharing. The blue and orange are a good contrast, Nice work -
Guy...Great looking Pickup! Especially nice work on the detailing and decals. Love it! Aloha...Pete
-
Dale....absolutely beautiful Willys. The changes you've made truly enhance what is already a really nice kit and the paint is excellent. Both the content and execution are very nice! Aloha...Pete

Just a little "bump" so the Pick Up and Coupe could hang out together.

Thanks Guys...these old kits may have their shortcomings but they sure are lot of fun to build and with a little care the results can be surprising. Tim...As soon as the sun comes out I'll get you a couple of outdoor shots. Snake....Both the Coupe and Pick Up required a little work to get the frontend to line up with the body. I installed the front ends and hinges prior to gluing the body to the chassis, cut off the body locating pins on the chassis, and then slid the body into place and lined it up with front end...used 5 minute epoxy to glue it down so I had time to move it around before the glue set. While the alignment isn't perfect it's a lot better than it was using the pins to locate the body. Aloha...Pete

Howzit Guys…While I was building the latest version of the AMT 1940 Willys as a pick-up I liked the kit so much I went back to the local hobby shop to get a another kit to build as a Coupe! Thanks to Round 2 for bringing these old kits back form our childhood so we can build ‘em right this time! While the pick-up was built pretty much out the box tis one has some parts box pieces and aftermarket stuff. The decals are one of Slixx new Gasser mini sheets. The wheels are from AMT’s latest edition of the Chevy 62 Bel Air (Northwind stocker), The wheels have been widened. The blower scoop and rear tires are from a Revell SWC Willys. The Valve stems are pro tech. The paint is a custom mixed pearl burgundy over a black base with a lacquer clear covering it all Thanks for takin’ a look, Aloha…Pete

In Honor Of The "Chezoom" release...
Flatout replied to funhouse1's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Easy to see why these things are still so popular. Here's the Boss Nova with a few Mods. Just picked up the latest issues of the Mustang and Corvair, looking forward to adding them to the shelf. -
Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka from the 50th state!

Thank You to everyone that took time to comment over the past couple of days. I enjoyed building this so much I've already started building another one as a coupe. Aloha...Pete
