Revell '32 Sedan - Mostly Finished! Part 1

[Don Banes]

This thing fought me all the way, but for the most part, it's done! It'll need a few little touch ups here and there, and then it goes "under glass". I'm kinda sick of looking at it right now.

Tamiya orange body with a '66 Chevy 327" mill lifted from AMT's Nova kit of the same year. The rims are from Revell's 1/24th '32 Deuce roadster kit, and the caps are from their rat rod series of kits. Tires front and back are Modelhaus. Everything else is pretty much out of the box.

All of the building comments posted here regarding Revell's '32 sedan were VERY helpful to me, and I thank you all!

Enjoy the pictures...

Well Don, you won!

What a build. It takes this already fine kit to a whole other level. It's so clean, simple and to the point that it perfectly captures all that is so compelling about a great traditional rod.

I'll leave it for others to drill down into all the lovely details which always animate your builds (except to invite everyone to savor the the superb engine bay area) and just say one thing:

Wow!

Beautiful paint. The engine is perfect.

Thanks! I used your trick on the cowl lights and drilled them and added a short piece of stainless rod. The mounting surface on the cowl light(s) end(s) was nill, and it was impossible to get them on. Next time, I'll lose them altogether, and fill in those little divots where they mount.

Did you get that '32 tub done yet? I'm looking forward to it!
