Reuhkapelti2 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I spotted a picture of a funny little car located in DAF Museum in Holland (Netherlands). Next I scooped thru my scrap boxes and found the remainings of '39 Chevy (Monogramm) that had given many parts to my other models. I cut the roof in pieces, made the hood and the grill more narrow and so on. I found and made some parts to create the engine, dash, rear wheels etc. Painting the body was nearly the end of the project, so badly did the primer and spray top coat react to each other, but I scraped it all off and brush painted it with Revell 52 blue enamel. The original Mobile Raincoat vehicle was designed by Mr. Hub van Doorne for his private use, in case of rain, he could have driven straight inside his house with it. Did he use it is unsure. My model is my version of that kind of one person vehicle, not an exact copy of the original Mobile Raincoat. Just wanted to use those Chevy parts for something fun. The first pic shows how small this vehicle is, about 2,25 inches high and 3,5 inches long. 1,25 inches wide. Take a look and feel free to comment, thanks.

Modlbldr Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Great idea for leftover parts. Very ingenious. That reminds me of a car on an episode of Top Gear. Jeremy drove it into an elevator and up to an office. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmobil Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Great model and a really cool idea. I did see that Peel P50 that Jeremy Clarkson drove om Top Gear but have never heard og this Dutch mobile raincoat. What does that look like?

Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) The dutch Daf Mobile Raincoat looks almost the same as my model or is it the opposite? My model looks almost the same as the original? I like building models that represent something from 1:1 world.

Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Thanks everybody! Dann, you couldn't see one of these in that museum, since only one was built as a prototype.

Reuhkapelti2 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thank you everyone! I try to use left over parts as often as possible. Now I'm working the same kit as to this Raincoat was used. I bought from a flea market some old model boxes, and there was two '39 Chevy coupe body shells and some parts in one of those boxes. Black Betty Dodge is being made from the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
