Agreed, but it's a fun little kit. Hope to pick up a couple, if it does materialize at some point ....

I have that kit. I had assumed it would build nicely. You've done a fantastic job! Really love these oddball cars.

That's pretty cool!

Beautiful, and it's great seeing them together like that!

Slow and steady. Made a little more progress. The front suspension was firmly attached by the previous builder, so I'm leaving the ride height as-is. Still need to add the cover to the front wheels and paint the door handles. I also need to add the mirrors to the fenders, paint the rear hatch, and add some wipers. I found a tinted sunroof, so I think I'm going to use that. I fabricated the rearview mirror from a piece of wire and the remains of a mirror from somewhere. Over all, though, not too shabby. I guess. And what is that lurking in the background, but another rebuilder? Check out the 1st Generation wheel created by Vitan Kasnakov around 2014 for me. Sorry to just be putting it to use, Vitan!

That looks really nice - both trucks look great.

That's a real beauty.

So using Tamiya polishing compound (finishing), I was able to get most of the enamel off without any apparent damage to the lacquer. We'll see what happens next ...

Nice progress!

nice

I'm trying to fight just that problem with this build! Touch up, fix rear glass, fix wheels ... done! (maybe???)

I'll give it a try. If I want to repaint the black (it's a molded-in door handle), I assume I need to really wash the car body after using Novus?

I have a car body I've painted w/ Tamiya Spray Lacquer, and I'm really happy with the result. I've done most of the trim in Testor's Enamel, and it looks good so far. However, I managed to really booger up one spot. Is there a way to remove the Testor's without damaging the Tamiya paint? thanks!

For what it's worth, I stopped in at a Hobby Lobby today while visiting family. Wouldn't you know it - there was one 1930 Revell Ford Coupe on the shelf. I bought it. So, I suppose there are at least a few still in the wild. Maybe not dozens, but at least a few. Good hunting!

Wow!

Getting there ... I had to recreate the front glass, due to the original being damaged. I used the original as a pattern and cut the new piece from clear plastic. Decent, I suppose. The gear shift, I now realize, is hugely oversized. I lifted it from some junker that was in the spares box. It'll have to do. I need to (still) clean up the trim around the gas cap and the front of the car. I think a wash around the panel lines would be a good idea. Remaining tasks - clean up the wheels; paint and install the rear hatch and quarter windows, paint the door handles and locks.

Well said, Tom. Totally agree on all points. Now ... I sure hope Revell brings us a 29 / 30 Ford one day. Meanwhile ... I'll be rooting through my stash of other cars, trucks, and planes.

Your build is looking great! That light ... I'm having a difficult time refraining from toilet humor on that one.

Cool. I like seeing these obscure kits being built!

Two nights in a row! I added a little wash to the nooks and crannies. I think it looks a little better. If I can only not booger up the dashboard ...

Super, Duper, Teeny, Tiny small update! I got a coat of paint on the interior. It's looking more "rust" than "dark red"; but I think I'm going to run with it. At least, I'll try a little wash and drybrushing and see where it ends up. Worst case - purple pond.

Sharp!

That is impressive! How was that kit to build?

I like where this is headed.

Very cool. I'll be watching this.
