alan barton Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) There have been some nice Monogram Model As on here lately so I thought I would add my build from earlier this year. I wanted to see if I could combine the parts from the last re-issue of the monogram Woody with the last re-issue of the Monogram coupe. Turns out it works pretty well with a couple of cautions. Firstly, the woody dash with multiple gauges clashes with the model A coupe interior trim panels. Would be easier to trim before paint - ask how I know this! Also, if you glue the roof on prior to paint, the interior panels can be a struggle to fit and further trimming was required. And those headers came from the original Red Chariot kit - I had saved them for a project like this! Paint is Tamiya Bright red over Tamiya pink primer and three coats of Tamiya clear straight from the can. I cheated and left the stock rear axle in place but a nine inch would have made more sense. It was a fun build and I didn't want to get trapped in overcomplicationitis! Cheers Alan Edited September 4, 2022 by alan barton 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Gallant Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Beautifully captured circa '60s... Love the fact that the top is actually seam filled to the body. Most examples you see have that awful line between the body and the top. Great color too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianl Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Sweet build Alan. Stance, wheels and colour combination are spot on. Looks like it came straight from the cover of a '60's Hot Rod mag. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
