Bernard Kron Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) I always enjoy seeing what is done with these '27 T Roadster resin bodies because there is absolutely no kit for them - it's a pure exercise in scratchin' and bashin'. The windshield and interior in particular can be a real challenge. Looks like the Revell 29 Roadster seat is a near perfect fit. Something to rember.... This is a nice tasty example here, full of yummy details. I'm amazed that you were able to get everything but the carbs under the hood. Looks cool!

Robberbaron Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Nice job! Funny, I literally just got one of these '27 T bodies from Hobbylinc with a bunch of other JF stuff. Was kind of an impulse add-on, but was so cheap I figured it's worth it just to have some fun.I've also been wondering how I'll piece something together. Probably use as much as I can from the Revell '29 roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm a track nose lover, but I like that checkered firewall and I can bump into those headers with no worry about my jeans going up in flames! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This came out great! The '27 Turtledeck T is one of my all time favorite body styles available in scale only as a resin offering. -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
