Calling it done. Revell 57 Ford Custom Wagon

[Exotics_Builder]

After having a problem with the Flintstone Sedan Delivery body, I put this back on the shelf.  I pulled it back off in December to try and do something with it.  Since I had already modified the interior for a sedan delivery, I decided to make this a custom shop wagon such as would be at a car show.  A benefit is it made the interior mods more visible.

Since I still had the original body, I did a mild customization to it and painted it Testor’s Electric Pink Lacquer covered with Wet Look Clear.  

For the interior, I used parts bin seats and detailed with: seat belts; used model railroad nails for door locks; and added some gear to the cargo area.

Engine was fully detailed out with wiring and plumbing.  I used the now out of business Detail Junkee’s air cleaner and valve cover PE set to dress up the engine and added some additional PE and a non-working dipstick.

Chassis detail included fuel lines, brake lines and an emergency brake.

I used the Molotow Liquid Chrome markers to touch up BMF and chrome tree parts.

Still need to add the exhaust tips and that is that for this one.

Fantastic detailing. I really like the electric pink on it, I have one build in that color and I know the pics don't do it justice.

Great job on your build.

These are Model Car Garage that I have had in the aftermarket stash for quite some years.  They worked well with the American Satco wide whitewalls I used on the kit as the tires are wider.  The only glaring problem (to me) is that there is no opening for a valve stem and they are full wheel covers.  So I drilled each and ran a wire through to simulate a valve stem.  Also polished them using Wenol metal polish.
