W-409

That should be a good idea... Maybe I could try, I could use that original one as a model to the new one. Maybe that should be worth trying, thanks for that tip. Tomorrow I look at that frame closely and maybe try my hand at building one...

I got this one today. It's MPC Black Magic Vega FC gluebomb. This will be nicely detailed and hopefully pretty realistic model. I don't have any other parts than these on the picture, but engine is easy to get when I decide what engine I'll be using. But maybe no Keith Black's hemi this time, it just don't fit to Chevrolet. Body and other parts needs to be stripped off from paint. I'll start stripping the paint tomorrow. This is inspired by Chris Sobak's Army Vega FC. I'm not sure about the color yet, but it will be something nice...

Thanks, Dominik and Skip! That problem on the top can't be seen as clearly as in that picture... But there are other bad things as well. Thanks both, and I'm happy about htat detaling too.

Great detail on this. I like those inside pictures from that Camper. Idea is very cool too, and color fits nicely to that cab. I haven't seen too much of these campers, so this one is great.

! Oh yes, many many kilometres... Oh, I mean miles. And it takes long time, some doping maybe? We have lots of cars and many of them are from Sweden. There are many, many more cars than here, but we have lots of them anyway. Maybe some more pictures of Finnish cars coming later...

This is very cool too. It's like moving sign of Pro tech! Great idea. I like the engine detailing of it, very realistic. The paintjob looks really good too. Nothing wrong with it, thanks for sharing.

And just a few more... Thanks for looking, comments are very welcome!

It's now finished. It took bit over an year to complete, and original idea was to build it as simple and fast build... Well, something went wrong and it's now bit more detailed as the idea was... But anyway, it's painted with Revell's Enamel paint and spray gun. A bit of polishing, and BMF... Interior is built box stock, but otherwise there are some details added. Well, on to the pics, here is a link to WIP topic. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37260&hl= More pics....

Thanks, Cole! I had really good luck- I didn't break it down. Alright, now I start posting the Under Glass topic with some outside pictures.

Thanks, Both!!! Now this Monogram's Chevy Bel Air is FINISHED and it's now packed to model car show/contest tomorrow on Lahti, Finland. I'll post Under Glass post tomorrow, or at the latest, on sunday. GREAT THANKS to all who had took time to view and especially to post comment to this thread. Also Big Thanks for CrazyJim, MarkJ and Brett, the followers on this topic. Thanks all, and see you on under glass soon.

Thanks, Gerald And Cole! Now this is the last update before it gets finished, then I post pictures to Under Glass. I have finished the engine bay with all of the details. I added also brake master cylinder and brake lines are on their places. Rear bumber is installed, headlights are on... Hood is completed too. Here are few pictures, maybe under glass post comes tomorrow, or sunday, I just don't have time for everything.

That '55 Chevy looks cool. Love those Gassers. Here is another Gasser.

That's tomorrow, it sounds like, I have to post a topic about it, but one thing is sure... It needs to be Detailed build, I'm sure about it.

Thanks, Steve! This kit is really worth buying, great quality and great subject. I'm not sure yet, but that gearbox maybe needs something, maybe I do something for it, but maybe not.... Let's see.

AMAZING job with this one! This is pretty radical, but that doesn't matter, it's very clean build without any mistakes. Like it, those front wheels are amazing, and rear tires look very good too.

Great job with it. I like the color, and stance. Wheels and tires look very good too. Maybe those window trims could be foiled, but otherwise really great job on this. 409 engine gives HUGE pluspoint!

Really cool! Weathering is very nicely done, and colors of this truck are great! I like those wheels and tires, stance is nice too. Really great job as always, keep these comin'.

This is going to be amazing project. Those wheels fit really nicely and stance looks good on those pictures. Engine is amazing, those spark plug wires look bit different, but they are really clean like that, I like them. I'll be watching this one.

This is very interesting build, can't wait to see Hudson completed. Keep it going, I'll be watching this one. And those Classic Chevrolets are looking really good too.

Ok, here comes last update today. Tomorrow maybe one or two more and then Under Glass. I've continued engine detailing. I built brackets for the battery, but you can't see them well from these pictures. Also installed battery cables, and heater hoses. Built generator wires too, but they are not istalled yet. The radiator wall is painted and waiting for assembly, then I can istall water hoses etc. Still pretty many things to do, but they aren't big things. Brake master cylinder needs to be done too, and brake lines... Well, it must be finished before saturday morning, so tomorrow when I'm home from school, then I'll continue the building with full speed.

Thanks, Virgil! Now the grille is waiting for assembly. I painted those "Dagmars" semigloss black. Also polished that hood, and some BMF to the badge on the frontend of it. Panel lines got some black wash too. It's getting there, now I need to go and get new bottle of super glue, old one is now empty and gluing metal parts needs super glue...

Few more... This was the last set for now.

Still few more, we have lots of these...

I agree with Doctor Cranky! We have pretty much American cars, don't know, what you American people think of Hot Rodding in Finland, but we have FHRA=Finnish Hot Rod Association and lots of Hot Rods, Muscle cars etc. Some More.

More Street cars from FINLAND!!!
