Goes to show the old AMT kit can be built as a very good looking Deuce Tudor. Really like the side to side wheel/tire treatment.
-
Excellent as alaways

This is one awesome looking Mini. Great job on the conversion and graphics.

Well done . Got a build me one of these someday. They are a very nice model.

Nice Deuce Woody. Did not realise there was a resin body available. I built one recently by converting from a 30 Woody and was more work than I figured.

There were 593 Roadster [Open Cab] Pickups produced in 1932. A ‘soft-top” roof was available and although it could not be folded, it was removable. Grill bars for commercial vehicles were stamped as part of the shell and painted black but passenger car shells and grills were available as an option. Also painted black on commercial vehicles were the headlight buckets and bars. Windshield frames were painted body colour. If spare tire was ordered it had to be a side mount. Fuel tank was under the seats. Most pickups were equipped with four cylinder engines. Ford used up left over Model A door hardware on commercial vehicles. I started with a Lindberg/AMT ’34 Ford Pickup. The roof was cut off and the chassis and running boards shortened a scale 6 inches. The cowl and windshield are from a Revell ’32 Roadster as are the hood and grill shell. The side contours on the body were done with Evergreen half round. The model was build basically stock but mildly hot-rodded with a souped up flathead and lowered stance. The side mount that came with the kit was a styrene tire, which I smoothed to give a tire cover look. The twin taillights are 32 passenger car style. The main body paint is Tamiya Blue with Testor’s Black enamel fenders and Tamiya French Blue wheels.

Very classy looking truck. Nice, -
Great bit of history. Good to see the two generations of Corvairs together. I always thought they were pretty neat cars and these are very neat models.

You did a wonderful job capturing the late 50s early 60 look. Love it.
-
Thanks guys. We can only hope this Deuce kit will be available again when Revell of Germany formulates its plans for the future.
-
Yes they are kit taillights with some clear red on them.

Yes they are kit taillights with some clear red on them. Other than the frame being part of the fenders, I have always thought this is a pretty nice kit which definitely builds a good looking full fendered rod. I have been toying with the idea of building a replica of Gray Baskerville's Deuce as featured in the current issue of the Rodder's Journal. It could be built almost directly from the box with some detailing.

Tough looking Deuce. Great paint

DI decided to re-do a 1/24 Monogram Deuce Roadster I had originally built 11 years ago in order to replicate one of the four cars featured on the Deuce Days 2019 t-shirt. The changes made were different wheels, tires, headlights, hood, dash and steering wheel, chromed the bumper brackets and front suspension, added door & trunk handles, added, grill shell cap & emblem, different license plates and added a horn and rear spreader bar.

Great color selection to build this great kit that we can only wish for its reissue someday
-
Great looking HOT Rod in all respects
-
Great color combination. Was not sure how I would like the black wire wheels but when I saw them they look just right.
