ewetwo Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 I bought a box of models and parts. I managed to build the Yellow Jacket from what was in the box. The axels were broken but I managed to glue them back together. But one of the windshield post was missing. I found a relatively reasonable 1930 ford kit on ebay and restored the Yellow Jacket back to what the original builder built. But what to do with the rest of the glue bomb kit? So I made what I call the Honey Bee LOL. Slightly modified 4 cylinder flat head and exhaust. It's not the best but it was fun. Enjoy.

slusher Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Very nice restore of a classic Monogram kit.. Edited March 3, 2021 by slusher
bisc63 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Sweet! These need an old-timey garage setting, such as an old barn shed, no real garage, just a shelter where a car guy can work out of the rain. Very cool builds.
alan barton Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 I can relate to this - my Yellow Jacket was restored from a glue bomb as well. They may not be up to the standard of detail we expect today but they give many smiles per gallon in terms of nostalgia. Congrats on two cool builds, and I like your diorama as well! Cheers Alan
