CabDriver Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yet another Revell 29 build! Went MOSTLY box stock with this one, but with a few little tweaks... I flipped the front cross member to lower the front end, swapped the wheels and tires for Boyd Alumacoupe ones and replaced the kit rear shocks for some scratchbuilt ones. Added some photoetch and shot the paint with Createx airbrush colors, Pearl Ex powders and Testors clear topcoat. Oh, and swapped the drum brakes for some resin disk brakes. Ended up with a kinda 90s look, so I used a 90s era correct license plate and added a tinted windshield and gave a very light pink tint to the headlight lenses to match some of the colors used in the build. Build thread here, for anyone curious: Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 You are an artist with the flames, masks, paint- that is some of the nicest scale flame treatment I have seen. Your build thread illustrates just how nicely your plan has come together in the finished product here. This turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thank you for all the lovely replies everyone - they mean a lot! ❤️ On 6/28/2020 at 10:32 AM, AmericanMuscleFan said: This is a superb little Ford that you delivered in record time Jim! The paint job is awesome as well as all of the additional details you have added to make it very unique. I raise my hat to you sir!!! I ran out of parts before I was done building it! ?. I was enjoying this one a lot and painted a few parts last week and looked through my to-do list and thought “huh - I guess it’s ready to assemble” ?. I intentionally wanted to build a couple of these box-stock-ish before I start getting wild with engine swaps and messing with the frame and adding opening trunks and whatever else - was fun to wrap up a kit fairly quickly! These just FALL together - great kit!! Next project is going to be this one’s counterpart - still mostly box stock but a much more traditional look...I think they’ll display nicely together! Thanks again for the nice comments everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
