Beamerman Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hello all, hope all of you had a nice Christmastime and be ready for the new year... My last build in 2022 will be my 1955 Bel Air Streetmachine. I build this car like i would build it in real life if i could. I widend the rear wheel wells for the Aoshima rims. Choose the Streetmachine Front and Rear-Axles with the Discbrakes. Engine from the box with weiand intake manifold, Oilpan from the partsbox, Detailmaster Distributor, some wiring. Also a bigger Radiator and an Aircleaner from Scaleproduction. Interieur from the box except flooking and a Steeringwheel from Scaleproduction. Paint is Tamiya TS12 Orange over white primer. Second Color X10 Gunmetal. Both apllied with airbrush. Hope u like. All comments welcome. Have a great Time everybody! Cheers! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I know those wheels are kind of a favorite among the drifters, but they just look so right on a lot of US cars too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
