Smokin' Henry J gasser

[Rocking Rodney Rat]

The venerable Revell Henry J kit we (some of us old timers anyway) all know and love from our childhoods. Doors welded shut and fenders attached to the body. Rear wheel wells tubbed. Cammer from the parts box. Other bits and pieces from here and there. Paint is Testors Extreme Icy Blue. -RRR

Yep "RRR",  nice work on the J?

[cobraman]

Well done !  I built the model twice over the years and I don't mind saying neither one looked that good. May give it a whack again, maybe not !

[Kit Karson]

Well you out did my Henty J, Brother!  Excellent body work and just the right kolor!

[rrb124@sbcglobal.net]

My gosh. That thing is nasty! Looks killer ?

[PappyD340]

Awesome Henry J!

[oldscool]

Cool!

 

[slusher]

Outstanding build!  RRR

[Tedly]

Very nice job with a very difficult kit. I've got one semi started that I glued the doors shut and glued the front fenders on too, someday I'll get back on it and finish it.

[ozmodeler]

Great job on that " Henry" glueing the fenders on fixes a major fit issue with this model. I love the rivet detail on the floor panels.

[Metaldrumm]

Very nice,love the color.

[Zippi]

Good looking Gasser.  Love the ole Henry J.

[MAGIC MUFFLER]

Great stance!! Great everything actually!

Awesome build!!!!!!

[Street Rod]

Lookin’ good! ?

[Bainford]

Wicked attitude!

Turned out freakin’ sweet! I especially like the chassis with the ‘41 Willys front end and ‘65 Chevy II rear axle set up. This might be the first kit-bash of those new Moebius parts on the forum?

Absolutely your BEST choice of parts, Brother!  Out of all the steps involved in building a model car... collecting the RIGHT parts is my favorite! -KK

How 'bout another?

Thanks !!!  If you've never used the Testors Extreme paints (they're discontinued but I found some at Hobby Lobby) experiment with it before you hit anything you want to keep. For me, the paint goes on very heavy (I think I tend to have a heavy hand in the spray booth) and it literally bubbles where too much paint accumulates. I decant the paint to an airbrush and the problem has gone away for me. -RRR

Very nice RRR! You never cease to amaze me with your builds. That blue is the perfect color. Really nice build man!

Looks great. 

With the name though, I'd think green paint would have been more appropriate. ?
