Monogram 1930 Model A coupe 60's hot rod.

[pack rat]

VERY cool!

I like the white/off-white engine and chassis against the red paint.

[Peter Lombardo]

Very, very nice, oh so clean and period perfect.

Tasty....very tasty!  Glad to know this one is finished and sitting proudly on the display shelf.   (Always a big mental plus on my end when it goes into the display. presume the same applies with you.)  Cheers Mate...TB 

[NOBLNG]

Very nicely done!?

[Mr. Metallic]

Man that is sweet. One of the finest examples of a finished Monogram A coupe I've ever seen. 

[Dragonhawk1066]

That's a beauty!

Thanks Tim, yes, there is nothing like the satisfaction of getting a fresh build on the shelf.  I retired in January and have managed to get 26 models on the shelf since then, doing about five hours every night. Of course, some of those are ten day builds, some are ten week builds and some are ten year builds!!!  Doesn't matter, but they only get counted when the tyres hit the glass!

Cheers

Now, THAT is a Hot Rod! Love the way those pie-crust slicks peek out of the rear fenders.

Thanks for sharing this build.

[PappyD340]

Very sharp indeed!

G'day Alan, cool build. To transform stock to hotrod is always fun. I'm currently building the 37 ford panel delivery by revell as a street rod. It's posting on WIP Commercial vehicles. I'm in Albury, NSW. Have you heard of a model parts supplier called 'The Parts Box '. They have some good stuff including a nine inch. Again, cool hotrod.

Cheers, David.

Very cool. Early 60's are my favorite period. Hoping to have a full size version some day.

Really sharp. I know a guy who has a real 30 coupe that looks very similar!

[Street Rod]

Outstanding hot rod! 

[Jantrix]

Very nice. I have an Early Iron release of the Monogram 1930 Ford tourer, that I'm planning to do something similar with. Terrific work.

[Paul Payne]

Great fifties style hot rod! Love the Come and Arrest Me Red!

[Bullybeef]

That’s a tasty looking rod, I’ve never been good at getting red to look good on any kit, your paint is perfect!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Real pretty little A-bone.   

I've got a couple of these in various states from new to gloobombery, now I have inspiration of what to do with one of 'em.

Bill, I have been using Tamiya Pink primer under my red paintjobs of late and it seems to really make the red pop!

Ha ha - that is a standard joke of mine - when someone spells my name A-L-L-A-N, I say, "No, the proper way!" It's my Dad's name as well and it has worked for him for 92 years so far!

Thanks, Dan, for putting this model back on the front page.  Everyone seems to like the simplicity and that is exactly what I was going for.  Not trying to re-invent the wheel this time - instead, went with a proven formula that looks great on my shelf.  Monogram rods rock, irrespective of the larger scale!

Cheers

Alan
