RatRod Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I finally finished this part of my "Little T" project!!! Ever since I got my hands on an original 1964 Little T, and restored it, I always wanted one each of the three options included in the original kit. Well, I had a molded in yellow turtle deck from a 1970 Sweet T, then acquired an original oval tank & mount, plus an original set of headers, and mufflers from a member here (Thanks John!!!) So, to make things even better Revell reissued the Ford T Street Rod (what's left of the Little T) plus the Blue Bandito......Game on!!! This project took two T kits, two Blue Bandito's, two '30 woody's, and a Lil Coffin to complete. The ironic part is that these all could have been done in '64, as all these parts were available!!!
angelo7 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Oh Man, that blue one is beautiful! In fact all three are.
wayne swayze Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 SO cool!!! Love every one of them!! x2!!
Sixties Sam Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Wow! Those are all nice! The blue one is my favorite, though. I had a Little T back in the day, and I have an original issue Big T falling apart, awaiting restoration. Nice work on all your T's!Sam
Phirewriter Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Those look awesome!!! Great job capturing that early 60's vibe. I have so many projects right now but I had to dig out my Little T kits and parts and start mocking up a few versions. Thanks for the inspiration!
rmvw guy Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I love the red original but, the green really pops and my favorite color blue. What a collection! You must really love this kit. I bought an original one at a swap with the windshield frame missing and now have a newer issue found on eBay. Then came the latest release (I have not purchased) and still I have no original decals. Wish I could build one as nice as any of yours. Nice job.
1930fordpickup Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) All three look great. A very good idea that came out beautiful. You just need the original box in the picture. Edited December 7, 2015 by 1930fordpickup
Bernard Kron Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Tremendous grouping, beautifully done.The side pipes on the green car, are those original from the kit and/or do they exist or have they existed in some other form? They are sweet!
am73grand Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 BEAUTIFUL builds!!! I like them all so much I cannot pick a favorite.Nice job!
ZTony8 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Great looking trio there!I wish that the latest re-issue built up that nicely.I had a problem with the split steering knuckles in that the two halves wouldn't fit together when they were put over the nubs on the end of the axle even after enlarging the holes in the knuckle parts. Also, the headers are diabolical to install unless they're pinned.Old tooling?Poor design? I don't know.I'm still thinking about buying another kit because maybe I got a bad one the first time.
bigdrag1 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 John, they are all GREAT BUILDS. I can`t say I have a favorite, There all beautiful !!. I`m glad I could help with the parts....
RatRod Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks a bunch fellas!!! Bernard, the headers on the green car were scratch built based on the ones from the 1/8 Big Rod, and took three attempts to get right!Tony, the red car is an original '64 kit, the clones are based on the latest reissues, with some unique original parts. Yes the steering parts are a real pain, but will work with a little effort. This poor kit has kind of been through a lot over the years with lots of reissues. There is a ton of flash, and fitment problems, but still builds up pretty good!!!
tbill Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 now this is cool! i love all 3 of them, killer builds
Greg Myers Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 That would make for one great 3in1 kit. Revell ? Thanks John for showing us your great model building skills and photography.
crazyjim Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Holy hot rod! Good looking trio of gorgeous builds.
GMCMAN52 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 What can I say that hasn't been said already.........WOW
