rsmodels Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 This was another one I bought on Ebay to restore. It was a built model. As usual I stripped it and made some repairs. I used Monogram 1/24 tires from the 58 T-bird and Modelhaus hubcaps as Hubley re-used the 60 Ford hubcaps for their 61 Fords and the Hubley tires look too small to me. I had to cut the outer edges out of the T-bird rims and fit the rings into the tires so the Modelhaus hubcaps would fit . I had original bumpers and fender ornaments. I was working on and finished 3 wagons at about the same time so you can see the other two in a few photos. I'll post photos of them at another time if there is any interest. As always, thanks for taking the time to look. -Rich 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Beautiful job. I restored and hot rodded a Hubley '62 wagon years ago, used a set of Country Squire decals put out by a guy/company called Redbear Decals. Not sure if they still exist.

ChrisBcritter Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Great job! Another source for '61 Ford wheelcovers in 1/24 scale is the original issue Monogram '55 Chevy - they were for the custom version and fit the tires just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Nice restoration. It just needs 2 or three young'uns up against the rear window making faces at everyone behind them🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
