          Just finished up with build #6 on the year. This one is the Lindberg '34 Ford Roadster Pickup 1/24 scale (although it looks more like 1/25). The paint is Testors One Coat Mystic Emerald and I used Model Master Leather for the seat and steering wheel. I also de-chromed all of the plated parts and painted them Flat Black. I used the decals from the Monogram '41 Willys Street Rod kit since I didn't use them on that kit, and I added plug wires to the engine.    

          There was lots of flash and the plating was not very good on my particular kit, and even though it is a 3 in 1 with an extra frame and 3 back end choices there's not that many parts to the kit, so it was a pretty basic build. Despite those short-comings everything fit together really well. The only problem I had was at final assembly the body tub just didn't want to sit flush on the frame, despite several test fits throughout the build, so I probably just bent or twisted the frame sometime during final assembly. I don't think that it's noticeable and overall I am very happy with how this one turned out, even though I forgot to sand down the sink marks and some part numbers before painting that are visible after assembly. This was a fun little kit and went together pretty quickly once everything was painted and ready to go. Thanks for looking and Happy Modeling!DSCN2821.thumb.JPG.2fdc1ac39ef49e3cd9f72a1c7fa41c66.JPGDSCN2822.thumb.JPG.a97066a9da86cc5212fbaba92e68fe06.JPGDSCN2823.thumb.JPG.ba13d05d3659b57253ee305159daafac.JPG

Very nice job on a very under appreciated kit. A little tidbit; The engine in that kit (except for valve covers and incorrect headers) is a note for note crib from the original issue AMT 32 Ford Roadster hemi engine.

Different and therefore interesting. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before! Well done and model on! B)

Cool, I like the green with black. I've never built a Lindberg kit, this one turned out great!

Thank you, I've never built a Lindberg kit either until now. Not the greatest quality, but it actually went together quite well.

Thanks! I agree one doesn't see this kit done very often.

Sweet!

You did a great job on it. Colour suits it ?

Thanks! I love the colors of the One Coat Lacquers and the paint goes on quite well out of the can.

Thank you, I wanted to something out of the norm with this kit.
