bogger44 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 This was a quick build to fill some time during my other current project. A very simple and basic kit as we all know, but it builds well and was a lot of fun. She's completely box stock with the exception of two items, I added a better looking distributor and sourced a transmission from my parts box since the kit doesn't have one. Paint is Testors Mystic Emerald & Duplicolor Performance White. It's not really a subject I build often, but it was kinda refreshing and will look good on the shelf. Thanks for lookin' and any comments/questions. Oh yeah, I dumped the kit radiator hose for a piece of braided looking elastic thread.
alan barton Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Beautifully simple and effective. I have seen a few different colours on Black Widows over the years and they always leave me wondering why I painted mine black? Which is why I went out and bought another one! Cheers Alan
BlackSheep214 Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Wow. Very nice! Didn’t know there was such a kit called The Black Widow. What year is that kit?
Phirewriter Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Very nice, looks great in that shade of green. You realize you're now going to have to build this and paint it black.

Earl Marischal Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Love those old Monogram kits. That's just perfect. steve
Phirewriter Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) That was reissued a while ago in Monogram's SSP program but I've still seen them at shows for reasonable prices. Edited October 4, 2020 by Phirewriter

Thanks, not sure if you wanted to know the year of the car or when it was issued, but they call it a '27 and it was re-issued around 10 years ago. 8 hours ago, Phirewriter said: Very nice, looks great in that shade of green.

Paul Payne Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 The original kit was released in the very early sixties aa both a motorized and static version. I added a drive train and flathead to mine. Makes a nice tow vehicle for the streamliner.
bogger44 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Posted October 8, 2020 Thanks guys!

doorsovdoon Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Another nice build, the rad hose you replaced looks great.
Bainford Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Coool! These old Monogram kits always take me back to my early days of modelling. They’re still fun to build. Very nice work.
bogger44 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 Thanks guys, it's a fun little kit indeed.
