atomicholiday Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Mods- not sure if I posted this in the right place, so feel free to move it if it’s not. Thanks! This was a side project I put together while other projects were drying. It’s the Revell 1:6 Hemi street engine kit. Pretty simple, low stress kit just built for fun. It comes pre painted, and I left most of it alone, but I did change the color of a few components to match reference pics I found online. Also did a bit of detail painting and used Tamiya panel line accent in a few places to add some subtle depth. Two issues I found while building- a) the plastic parts are pretty brittle. I had a couple parts crack while scraping paint off to create a better surface for gluing. b) the gas lines don’t line up as pictured on the box or instructions. Mainly the line to the front carb. It hits the bottom of the distributor. Overall it’s a fun kit though. I liked it enough that I plan to build the Ford 427 sometime. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Nice job and nice display. I built the Ford 427 drag engine many years ago and like you said, a nice easy side project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
