Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited July 24, 2022 by Rocking Rodney Rat 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedly Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmodeler Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited August 28, 2022 by Rocking Rodney Rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpro Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Very nice RRR! You never cease to amaze me with your builds. That blue is the perfect color. Really nice build man! Speedpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Looks great. With the name though, I'd think green paint would have been more appropriate. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
