curt raitz Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Every time I opened the cupboard, the '29 Ford Model A Roadster 2'n1 kit kept staring at me. So finally I gave up and built it. I had used the channeled chassis, tires and wheels on a previous build, so built the high boy version. Went with Replicas & Miniatures W-8 1/25 Wide Whitewall Tires Big & Little Skinnies w/bias-ply tread, steely wheels and used the kit hub caps. Also added Replicas & Miniatures RH-911 1/25th "Hallock" Style V'ed Windshield. What a beautiful kit! Everything fit and the detail was magnificent. Paint is 1954 Ford H Sea Haze Green from Scalefinishes.

Peter Lombardo Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Hey Curt, should this be on the finished page? It looks great though.
misterNNL Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Nice model but windshield to cowl fit is questionable.

I agree I finally made my own in two halves and ended up molding it into the cowl. I made mine for one of Jimmy Flintstone's '20 Olds roadster bodies. They are very fragile indeed.
Eric Macleod Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Nothing not to like here. I really like that windshield.
Jantrix Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I had just about the same plan for this kit, except I was gonna try the AMT Phantom Vicky windshield. Real nice work Curt. I dig it.
