QUICKIE BOX STOCK '30

[mrm]

After quite a bit of time off model building, I need something to get me going again. I figured that the now really hard to get '30 Model A from Revell would be perfect for that. 

So here is the plan:

Build the kit box stock. Definitely outside my usual preferences, but much faster and easier.

 

 

I am building it with the model A frame and the body channeled over it

 

I am going for the NA tri-carb option and it will stay chromed. 

 

Wheels will stay chrome too.

 

Stay tuned

You picked a great kit to jump start your building cycle.I personally am very glad to hear these coupe and roadster kits will be available again later this year.Thanks for sharing.

So after day two, here is the score:

Frame and drivetrain is painted in very dark blue. It is almost black. 

 

The body was assembled, including the fire wall before it was painted. The color was chosen by my wife and it is a Tamiya aircraft color. 

 

Then I decided I wanted to add a accent color to the beltline as seen on some trendy 1:1 rods. 

 

It actually looks a lot better than on pictures. The reflections are making it look very uneven.

 

The interior frame was also painted Tamiya "bare metal" and the radiator is wearing flat aluminum.

I don't have much time for models, so I do a little bit at a time after work. Couple hours here, couple hours there........After a couple of hours on day three.....

Engine is almost completely done

 

and the chassis, missing only the rear shocks.

stay tuned....

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see more...

I enjoy this kit, I've built a couple of the coupes already.

I really like your accent color on the molding, and the added benefit is that it will help hide the gap between the roof and body. It's a small gap, but on lightly colored painted bodies it's very difficult to hide it.

Sorry this is coming together so slowly. Couple more hours on day four and the interior is coming together. 

 

 

And the chassis has the drivetrain and the radiator in.

Thank you guys.

This is slowly but surely coming together nicely.

Here is the body with the paint being cleared, buffed and polished. The decals are from the kit. 

 

The dash fitted.

 

Almost there.....
