G'day all, just finished my rendition of the Revell '39 Chevy sedan delivery. This is a nice kit and goes together without too much drama. Detail is good until you come to do the interior. It has no door trim detail and the bucket seats went straight to the parts box. I used a spare bench seat painted semi gloss black with matt black inserts and red flocking for the carpet. I added scratch built armrests and window cranks. Steering wheel is from the Revell 64 Impala with column mounted tachometer. The exterior colour is Tamiya As5 light blue (Luftwaffe) with Tamiya Ts13 gloss clear, which ran out halfway through the first coat so I finished it with Mr Hobby gloss clear. Items I used from the parts box are the steelies, dog dish hubcaps, tyres and air filter (kit doesn't have an air filter). I added fuel lines and plug wires. I also added exhaust tips which were scratched out from some plastic tubeing then chromed with an SMS chrome pen. Pop's 39 is a Galveston local and is often seen parked near Pleasure Pier while Pop is out surfing. Thanks for looking, and as always, your comments are welcomed and appreciated. Cheers, David. ?? PS. Pop is a fictional character.

Another old build...

The MPC '32 Ford Sedan Delivery from the "Switchers" series returns, this time with Coca-Cola decals:

Hey everyone! I decided to start another project over the long weekend and I've had this mid nineties release of the Amt/Ertl '40 Ford Sedan Delivery in my collection asking to be built. In the meantime, I've found that the clear parts tree is MIA and I'm in definite need of finding it. The body will be a gloss black. The white walls were hand painted with Model Master acrylic white. The wheels were shot with Duplicolor Universal Black and then cleared with Testors Wet Look Clear coat. The interior was shot with Testors One Coat Lacquer Root Beer and then brush painted Testors Gloss Wood. I'll do the detail painting for the brackets and run an acrylic mahogany wash over it and see what comes of that. I used white glue and brown embossing powder to simulate carpet. I sprayed the chassis with Krylon Flat Black, detailed it with Testors Flat Brass and Model Masters steel. The Flathead V-8 was painted with Testors Zinc Chromate and detailed with Testors Flat Black, Gloss Black, Flat White and Flat Bronze. I'll make some more progress tomorrow after work. I wish I could bring it with me! Goodnight everyone! Thanks for looking!

Coca-Cola Johnny Lightning 1955 Chevy Sedan Delivery in 1/18 scale. The hood has a cutout option like Ertl had plans for some Hot Rod versions.

I hope all you Dads here had a nice Father's day today and you were 'allowed' some bench time I picked up this Flintstone Nash sedan delivery at the Desert Scale Classic back in April. Great deal, been looking for one for a while with the pewter parts. Quite a bit of prep to get the body straight, but its almost there. There's a coat of red oxide primer underneath the black in case I go for the 'patina' look... The bumpers, well they're gonna take ALOT of work. Wouldn't be bad for body colored ones, but I want chrome...ugh... LOVE pewter parts! Nothing looks like metal like REAL metal! This is just a slammer, so I used the wheels and tires from the Revell Willys ProStreet. Can't see much of 'em, but the big Mickey Thompson meats can be seen nicely from behind! Thanks for looking!

Well here is my 1951 Chevy sedan delivery.Its built some what stock with faded factory paint.The body isn't perfect and neither were the cars coming off the assembly line in the 50's. The frame was modified for bigger tires and the engine is a 60's big block 396 ci that is mated to a transmission that may of been used on 50's Chevy vehicles.
