Ford 34 sedan

[happy grumpy]

Built this a while ago. I wanted to do a Bonnie and Clyde car but for lack of source material decided to leave it simply as a similar 2 door look alike. Acrylics from Tamiya topped with ts 13. I found out later that the actual car was olive green while the warren Beatty 's movie car was yellow to have a better contrast for the bullet holes.

I believe that’s a 34.

Oops! my bad. corrected.

I like the finishes and the OEM look. Amazing seeing the difference from the hot rods we become accustomed to seeing.

Well done.

Very sharp!  AMT had a few proportional issues with the body on this one but your clean assembly and paint detail has produced a first class model.  And yes, it is unusual these days to see a 34 stocker.  Nice job!

Very nice! I like your color choice and overall cleanliness of the build. Well done!

Looks great, the color suits the car perfectly!!

Really sharp build. I personally like the color choice.

Are you gonna build the bullet ridden car also?

Thanks Andy, I would like to do a replica if I can find enough reference to the real car. Thgere reportedly 7 fake cars in various places. But it's definitely on my mind.

I'd look for original photos and compare with other pictures. I believe the one is Las Vegas is the original comparing photos.

Another Fabulous Ford Mario!

I think I'd like to get one of these and have a go at a B&C replica. (As if I didn't have enough to do already.)

Wonderfully done!

Nice looking 34 Mario.  Clyde liked the fords because they were faster.  I think he even send Henry Ford a letter saying so.
