Revell 30 A Coupe

[Erik Smith]

Here was a quick build to get me back in the spirit.

Built as a 70's "what's-in-the-barn" hot rod.

Very nice Erik.  What engine did you use?

Excellent work

[bbowser]

This is too cool!  6-banger, Buick drums, wheel & tire combo, this one has it all.  Great model!

What a great looking car! Is it all box stock?

I agree!

[Againmikewins]

I've got the itch to buy one now. Can someone explain why these kits are so expensive?

Nice clean build. I like the engine choice, but what engine is it ? Most six cylinders that I'm familiar with have the intake/exhaust on the drivers side.

Very nice!

[Erik Smith]

Thanks much for the comments!

Engine is from Moebius '70 Ford - my vision was two farm guys had a wrecked truck and a hot rod body with no engine - voila! 70's Hot Rod!

Wheels and tires from Revell 32' sedan and firewall was scratch from flat styrene as I didn't provide quite enough clearance in my original engine layout for the kit supplied part to fit. Rest is from the box. 

Oh, and tire decals from Fireball Modelworks.

Beautiful work on the 30 Ford Coupe. Love the 6 cyl in there. By decals I assume you mean on the tires?

[Jantrix]

Super clean Eric. I like it a lot.

[Misha]

Great build Erik! The six cylinder really makes it stand out along with the entire craftsmanship.

Congrats, Misha

Very nice and clean! I really like the rad hose clamps! What did you use? 

[Sixties Sam]

Very nice hot rod! Looks so clean, and I like the six! My only nit-pick is that on models with exposed engines, I would add plug wires. Still a great build!

I agree, I took some short cuts to avoid a drawn out build. I really wanted to complete one model this year!
