crossfire 2004 Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 This started life as the Revell Mothers Cherry Pie kit or rather the body did, this was combined with the modified chassis from the recent roadster kit, while the the fenders, scuttle and one door are from the sedan. I’ve no idea which kit donated flattie, but I can confirm that the sedan gave up its wheels and reversed whitewall tyres. Paint is Vauxhall mushroom metallic over black, door fit is pretty lousy as always so we will quickly move on to the photos.
alan barton Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 You made me go wow! It is a nightmare to get these things together , to give them a decent stance and to not have the headlights pointed in every direction! You nailed it. If you ever tackle a second one< a little trick I learned is that if you file away some plastic from the back of the sunvisor, it will let the cowl stand up straighter which in turn improves the door gaps. Cheers Alan
Can-Con Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Very nice. Looks like some form of the '70s "resto rod" build style is coming back with the close to factory colors on stock bodies and other than mag style wheels. The '29 pickup I'm building right now is also in this style. Those doors certainly can be a bugger. I've come to the conclusion that I'll be gluing shut most of the ones I come across from now on.
stitchdup Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Pretty cool, i like the resto vibe it has
Lunajammer Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 I like this a lot. A treatment you don't often see.
Dennis Lacy Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 NEAT! We often see the Tudor Sedan variant of this kit built but hardly ever see the Sedan Delivery. I like the understated color scheme. As others said, very resto-rod like.
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Nice work a finicky kit....well done! -RRR
Tom Geiger Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Very nice! I have a couple of these set aside, you are inspiration!
espo Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Great looking build of a somewhat difficult kit to build. I really like the colors you used.
Beamerman Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Very nice. I love to see a stock build Panel A. Great work!
doorsovdoon Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Lovely little van that. I like the colours, very period looking.
