rsmodels Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 This one was a neatly built model with no painting or damage.It was easy to disassemble. I hand painted the whitewalls as it came with narrow ones. I did a simple job painting the engine. The hood fits very well on this one. I have a thing about ill fitting engine hoods and usually glue them shut if the fit is not good. Of course, most of my builds didn't come with opening hoods so it's seldom an issue for me. The rear gate was a one piece hatch on these cars but a power rear window was optional so i added the vertical bars as only the center part of the window went down. As always, thank you for looking and feel free to ask any questions and/or leave any comments. It's always appreciated. -Rich 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 A little gem from Jo-Han gets the clean build it deserves! IIRC this was one of the promo tools they opened up to add more detail for the USA Oldies series, borrowing the engine and underhood details from the '62 F-85.

ChrisBcritter Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 And if anyone wants to tackle some underhood details, this shot was uploaded to my car club's Facebook page this morning - note the air cleaner; it's factory - so you don't have to mess with the carburetor!
