‘29 Ford Model A Roadster

[atomicholiday]

I’ve been away from the forum for a long time now and haven’t actually had anything to show for 9ish years now.  Life was happening and my bench was completely covered with clutter.  Not a very welcoming environment to work at.  Cleared it off last November and I’ve been having a blast ever since.

This is the Revell “Special Edition” kit built pretty much straight from the box.  The only modifications I made were to lower the front end slightly and eliminate the exhaust system after the headers.

Paint is Testors extreme lacquer Flaming Orange from the rattle can.  Everything else was brush painted.  I haven’t fired up my airbrush yet.  Need to figure out venting first.

For the most part I’m pleased with the results.  That being said, I was going for more rake.  Just couldn’t get the front end low enough without completely rebuilding that area.  Also, I really like the color, but to my eyes, the flake is out of scale.

Comments and constructive criticism is more than welcome.  Enjoy!

Beautiful job on the A model. The bright color makes it pop in the sun.

Neat, clean and VERY tidy build. I really like how these build up and in the hands of a skilled modeler, like yourself, they come out superbly.

Thank for all the praise guys!  Means a lot to me, coming from a group like this.

This was a pretty fun project, and I think it’s put me back on track with model building again.  I have about half a dozen other kits in progress currently.  Can’t wait for warmer weather so I can get outside and shoot some paint!
