Revell '40 Ford In The Works

[bobss396]

'40 Standard coupe converted to a Deluxe, a bit of work but came out ok. Used donor parts from the yellow '40 convertible kit. Lots of flattie parts from Norm and MCG, '53 Ford truck hubcaps, I made the coil and shifter boot from aluminum rod as well as the trim rings which were nickel plated and sets off the brown nicely. Paint by Duplicolor.

Bob, that 40Deluxe conversion is really looking fine. I've found out the hard way just how difficult it is if done wrong. Very tasty, I like alot.

I saw this on another message board but hadn't responded yet...I love-love that color scheme, Bob. You figure this one will be ready for the NNL East next month?

Good question, I've been workin' 65 hour weeks lately so it will be close. There's not that much to do though, just some minor assembly and get the windshield to look right. The achilles heel of the kit is the freakin' windshield as far as painting/foil and the installation go.
