Revell Ford Model A Flatz Rat Rod

[Nick s]

Thought this car looked pretty cool so I tried to replicate into a model. It has a pretty cool color scheme with a flat blue paint job with black accents and a white interior.

Very cool looking hot rod.

Looks great. Exceptionally clean. Hows 'bout some parts source breakdown, and how you achieved the paint effect?

Your rod is HOT! Cool paint job and nice details. Are you going to make that brass knuckles shifter too?

I'd say you nailed it!

Very nice low hot rod build!

Nothing ratty about that sweet little hot rod. Any updates?

Great look. Slammed to Earth. Like the white paint on the Zed frame for contrast. Sectioning the grill must have been difficult. Thanks for this!
