disconovaman Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I did a quick build on this little Schwinn bike to get it off my bench. It builds up simple with only 7 parts. I tried to give it redline tires but it ended up looking more like red wheels instead. Oh well, I used a green sharpie for the "Pea picker" look of that era. The steering works and the wheels turn. I thought it would look good on the back of a pick up I want to build later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Looks great. I too built one with my Model A wagon a couple of years ago. It's a very nice kit for its scale. Now if we could convince Round 2 to reissue MPC's 1/8 scale Stingray. Which was the Pea Picker, by the way.Also I like the red wheels. It may not look like red line tires (B.F. Goodrich Tiger Paws for bikes). But, it sure looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks everyone, I wasn't sure how many veiwers I'd have in this section because I only frequent the model car fourm. But now that I was redirected it's like I've found a whole other site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
