customline Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Looks good to me, James. I really like those wheels. Where'd those buckets source from? They look familiar. I can't find a pair of buckets in my junk that will fit in a Model A ( that look good) but the kit seat is good for my current build. The one I'm working on now is a slightly rusted "survivor" and is actually the AMT '29 roadster body on the '32 frame from the Revell kit. It looks like you're nearly done with this one. Great work, James. I can't get enough Model A Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done 2 of the Revell 29s and have another one not built yet. I have a 32 5 window that needs rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't recognize them because I couldn't see the holes. I get the coupe and the roadster mixed up. I've done about 3 of each plus the '32s a few times. Using these kits yields a whole bunch of spare parts. I have a small mess of them. I wish Revell would do a decent '34 3 window. Maybe a special edition. Sorry.....I had to get that out.

bluestringer Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Put on some Tamiya x-22 clear, came out ok. I had to build the interior panels as one unit along with the dash and then squeeze them into the body. Test fit went ok after that, but I didn't have the firewall installed, so I've got to try it again. The paint for some reason looks more blue than green in this photo. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Karson Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Nice Model A Koupe, Brother! -KK How did you find the kit to build? (Other than step 8...) Easy? OK? or somewhat difficult? btw how did you resolve the problem with the interior panels? Edited October 23, 2022 by Kit Karson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Karson Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 On 10/12/2022 at 1:36 PM, bluestringer said: Ok, I have ran into a problem. Step 8 of the instructions shows the interior panels being installed on the frame/interior floor. This is for the B version. Trying to do a mock up and there is no way the body will fit over those panels especially with the firewall installed. The A version part show those interior panels being installed in the body. Has anyone built the B version and how did you do it. I guess I will now have to try and remove those panels and install them in the body, but not sure how that rear panel is going to fit like that. James, Haven't built the koupe, yet, but have used the Model A koupe bare bones interior panels in a '29 Model A Roadster. The trick with the rear panel is to place either side in the body as far back as possible, then holding the body on its side hold the opposite interior panel a bit forward, canting the rear panel between the two sides... slip the rear panel in the slots while sliding the most forward of the two panels back into place locking the rear panel between the interior panels. As you have already realized playing with moving parts, even before final assembly, kan be a bit testy! -KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the interior as a unit including the dash outside the body then installed it in the body. 1 hour ago, Kit Karson said: James, Haven't built the koupe, yet, but have used the Model A koupe bare bones interior panels in a '29 Model A Roadster.
