Model A Coupe

[crossfire 2004]

Firstly please let me apologise for yet another Revell ‘30 coupe but like everyone else I was excited by its re release.

Mostly box stock, I couldn’t help putting my mark on it by converting the rear end to original crossmember, transverse spring and a quick change from the Challenger 1, swapped out the dirt tracker rear tyres, added the optional Deuce grille and made headlights from ‘36 buckets, 32 Phantom reflectors/lenses and Beetle front indicators as side lights. Finally the interior got a ‘40 Ford wheel.

I like the era style of your build. Great looking paint job. The combining of the different drive line components make a very believable looking model.

A real classic build Stuart. The chassis shots are great showing the traditional rear suspension with the Q/C axle, perhaps how Revell ought to have done it, then again we are modellers. Your clean build is a joy to examine (is there a WIP thread on this one?) 
Wishing you the best for the upcoming holidays, cheers Misha

Great rod- can't go wrong with basic black.

Beautiful build. As building many of the same subject, I plead guilty too, we all have a favorite model that we like to build, there are so many ways you can build the same model, especially hot rods. All the more for us to see. I like the frame shot, not being an expert on hot rod I can only say that it is candy for my eyes.

Beautiful build! Love the shot of the chassis too. Going to have to get me one or two of these.

SWEET hot rod!

Those rear tires are going to lead short but glorious lives. A fine looking Hot Rod.

Nice, clean, no nonsense build you’ve done there Stuart. I like it a lot!?

[afx]

Very nice.

[misterNNL]

Real world clean and practical build.

[Zippi]

Good looking Hot Rod.  Nice mods.  I have one in my stash.  Ill wait til all the builds on the 30's are done to build mine.

No need to apologise for such clean build! It's just beautiful! IMO this is one of the best kits Revell ever made and I just can't see enough of them built, especially when executed that nice!

agreed. the chassis looks superb for its own!

[slusher]

Clean and great model..

[Bainford]

That’s a great looking coupe. Love the style. Very clean. Very cool.

I love your coupe, just gorgeous. I also had a need for those long headlamp bodies so used the bodies from the Gunze AH Sprite to make resin copies.

Anyway, a really well thought out project, executed brilliantly. I see you changed out the awful kit tyres, would you mind sharing the source of those please.

Atb, Steve.

Very nice looking coupe, lovely work. I love the pictures of the bare chassis. I'll have to get me one in the new year, just to display like that, looks so good.
