crossfire 2004 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 This is my take on the Revell Tweety Pie 2 kit that I have just completed. The Olds motor & trans are from the AMT ‘40 Ford sedan kit, headers from the Slingster, rear wheels are resin items, the screen and hood were chopped while the 3 diamond rear window was swapped for an AMT 29 pickup slotted frame. My only real criticism would be that parts you would expect to be chrome such as the front axle grille and headlights are not, while parts unnecessarily plated require stripping prior to paint.
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I like it. Interesting engine choice too. Looks good. Something appealing about little T buckets with big feet...kinda like puppies.
Snake45 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Very nice. Nicer than the original IMHO. Great color--what's the paint?
Spex84 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Well that's sharp! I like the modifications you've made to the basic kit, back-dating it to the 50s/early 60s. I've always thought the Tweedy Pie was a little too short, but looking at this, the proportions seem AOK! The color-combo is just right. What paint did you use on the body, by the way?
crossfire 2004 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks guys, the Tweedy Pie is quite short but lowering the roof height seems to help the proportions. The colour is from a cheepo range stocked at a local hardware store, these are the only metallic colours they keep. They seem to cover well with a really good finish, the ‘34 has a coat of the gold.
