Tweedy Pie- my way

Another vote for the 5 spokes. Your kit is coming along fine, looks good.

Thanks guys for the vote of confidence. I got the interior and engine primed today and glued the completed dash in.  I picked up a bottle of Tamiya flat white tonight to spray the whitewalls on the rear tires tomorrow. I'm looking forward to finishing this one. Not much left.

5 spoke vote for me as well!

Made a bit of progress today. Got the beginning of the interior painting done. I still need to clean up the lines  and flock the carpet. Also started assembling the engine. It is just sitting in place for now.

I also vote for the 5 spokes, nice job with the Mother of Pearl nail polish.

So, here is where I am at tonight. It is 6 PM. I think if I put the hammer down that I can get this finished by Midnight.

My way.....

Steve, that looks great! Nice work on it.

Well, I have been bested tonight. I am calling it quits before I botch something up. I wired the distributor and now it hits the firewall. Tomorrow I will pull the wires up that I glued down to the top of the tranny and run them from the sides of the cap rather than the back. That should give me the room.

All that's left is to assemble the grille and radiator, install headlights, install a coil on the firewall, mount the cab to the frame, install the windshield and do a bit of touch up painting. It sounds like more than it really is. 

Here is where it stands for 2018.....

No need to push it. Lookin pretty good.  Pic below is the inspiration for my variation on this classic Revell kit from the 60s.

Looking good. Wise move stopping its coming along nicely and it would be a shame to rush it.

[Modlbldr]

Finished this one tonight other than the license plates. I'll get them on tomorrow and put this under glass. I will never build this kit again! It is such a fiddly kit.  I had fun for the most part with it but had to redo too many things to get it together as cleanly as I did. Oh well, it is done.

Nice build. This kit has been a longtime favorite of mine.
