DODGER!

 

The "Little Red Wagon" was one of my favorite models when I was a kid. Nicely Detailed Kit, with Many Options. I have been looking at the "Little Red Wagon" just sitting on the shelf for several years now and I finally decided what I want to do with it.

I am going to turn this Classic, Wheel Standing, Drag Racing Truck into a 2 Wheel, Monster Segway Truck! Here is a quick Mock-Up to give you an idea of what I have in mind.

Getting Started!

This Kit offers opening Doors and Tailgate.

I glued the Tailgate and Rear Pan in place.

Then I sprayed a coat of White Primer on the Body. This will make it easier to Mark the Cutting Lines later.

Cutting Lines!

First I drew a Line at the bottom of each Door.

Cutting It Up!

First I cut the Bottom section from the Doors and then glued the Door Sections in place on the Body.

Next I cut out the center section of the Pick-Up Bed and glued the Body Halves together.

Then I made a Template, a little bigger than the Tires and cut out the New Wheel Wells.
