thnx , yes just a fun build got this kit in a trade .. and didnt feel like keeping it stock ..

 

and yes i feel you ... never saw a revell kit with such low quality ..take the 32 ford kits ..they all are high quality and great fitting .. my body was so flexed ..pffftt ..

i finally got it decent .. last minimal difference between the front's left and right i will fix when i glue it on after paint ..

thnx jim :)

added a piece to the dash so it runs to the tunnel

used that as a template and made a new dash out of aluminum .. just sanded on the pic later i could polish that

gauges will sit behind .. on final assembly i will put superthin clear "glass) behind it first

changed the dash slightly .. added a piece in the middle , a head-unit in the center ..

drilled the gauge openings more conical in the front ....and closed the center console thing on the sides with aluminium plates.. so looking under the dash it looks nice

whouw that looks great and no problem ..i dont mind :) maybe i could try some clear over the thin clear sheet ..

 

interiourtub is painted black .. my firs idea was creme leather ...but now with the alu black was the only option .. now i'm not sure what to do with the steering wheel i wanted to make it wood but i doubt if that looks good on the black and alu .. and just black is way to simple

very carefull dryfit ... paint is dry but not hard .. inside of the doors will be alu also later on

cut matt's

thnx tony !!

 

the gages are in .. pfft what a job first glued clear sheet on the back ..tryling to avoid glue marks where the gages sit ..

then got he decals off and with a drop of water put them backwards against the clear sheer .. tryling to keep them all centered.

after that put black cloth electrical tape over it so the gages where fixed ans gaps closed ..

painted the steering column chrome .. at this point its dry brushed to match the aluminum more s its less shiney now

started a base of kaky brown on the gear knob and steering wheel going to mimick wood and hope it matches with the alu ..otherwide i have to do something else

basecoat >

dryfit

thnx !

 

whell jus went on painted the radio black and made the knobs silver ....seats are matt now in stead of semi gloss .....really coming together ..

now i love the wooden steering wheel and gear knob .. lifts the whole interiour and makes it less monotone ..

those are not done needs someclear coat layers and the shifter shaft needs cleaning ..

color idea is to go matt grey on the body with matte black wheels and make it a bit stealth and modern looking .. but with a classis twist

That is one sweeet interior.  The wood rim steering wheel  compliments the aluminium dash beautifully.  Good job.
