Plowboy Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 This model was built with the leftover channelled frame, exhaust and interior from the Revell kit. The body is from the old AMT kit. The grille is from a Phantom Vickie. The AMT '41 Woody provided the engine with the intake and carbs from a Revell '48 Convertible, front axle, Halibrand rearend, backing plates and tail lights (actually front turn signals). The front wheels are from an AMT '49 Mercury. The deeper rear wheels are from an AMT '34 Sedan. Tires are Parts Packs. Paint is Testors One Coat Emerald Green and White Lightning. This was a pretty fun build. Despite all of the different parts used, it went together like they were made for each other. Everything used was leftover parts. Thanx for checking it out!
Snake45 Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Very nice! Love the color, and it works well on this. Well done and model on!
espo Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Great looking little roadster. Very good use of a bunch of left over parts,.
Can-Con Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 What a sweet little roadster !! Love everything about it especially that it's built from spare parts. ???
Tom Geiger Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 You’ve been busy! Nice little rod, I’ve been meaning to do something with that chassis!
Plowboy Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 Thanx guys, I appreciate the comments! To me, models built from the parts box can be the most fun to be had. If it goes south, no big deal. It's like building a model with free parts.
echo Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Excellent build, the spare parts thing makes it even better. Nice !
