oldscool Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Did this one as a late fifties mild custom. OOB except for the steering wheel and adding a fuel pump to the stock engine. Also made a simple tag bracket from evergreen strip. She's painted with some Krylon Colormaster Satin Ivory. The frame, firewall and dash are done in Tamiya Light Sand. The suspension, grille and other body trim is Tamiya British green. Engine is some old Humbrol Brunswick Green enamel. Seat and tonneau are just plain old Testors Flat Brown enamel from the little bottle. Still need to add the radiator hoses to finish. Oh yeah, removed the hood sides because I think it makes it look jauntier. These old AMT trophy kits still make nice models right from the box and it went together with no issues. 2
EngineerBob Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Nice clean build of a classic. I may have to get the kit just for those wheels and tires.
espo Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Nice and clean looking. I like the Hood sides being off also.
Zippi Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 I really like this one Gerald. I have this kit in my stash. Well done.
TarheelRick Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Can't go wrong with a 34 Ford pickup in any style and this mild custom is way beyond cool. Never would have thought of an Ivory, but it really smokes on this one.
mchook Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Man, that looks sharp! I love the color, can't go wrong with the flathead and the wheels & tires make it period perfect.
