donb Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Been wanting to build this for awhile. Had a little HOK candy brandywine left from a previous build and decided to use it up. Cleared with auto urethane. Interior is white. Carbs are painted copper to try to make the engine a little less bland. Basically an out of box build. Pretty happy with it overall. Comments welcome.
'70 Grande Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Nice! Has a great look and "feel" to it! Your paintwork and color choices are excellent! There's alot to like about this build!
Phildaupho Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Nice box art build. I recently bought the re-release of this kit and was disappointed it does not include the front spoke wheels that are shown on the box. It comes with 4 chrome Halibrand, 4 chrome Centerline and also stock wheels.

Snake45 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Pretty cool! These old-school retro builds are always fun, aren't they?
espo Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Very nice build. The way you used different colors to show off the different components. Great looking color and finish on the body.
Flatout Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Nice build of an old favorite...looks really nice in red! What color of base did you use under the brandywine?

Don't know how I missed them the first time.
geemoney Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 love this vick my dad bought a '31 in '48 cost: 25.00
Jantrix Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Real nice work. It's very cool how the improved tires we've been enjoying the last 5-6 years improve a model.
