JTalmage Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I have plans to backdate a couple Boomer Bucket kits to Little T's in different variations based on original box art photos. Here's project number 1 completed. A lot of folks in the Scale Survivors group on Facebook helped out with acquiring the specific parts. This one is painted Tamiya French Blue which looks nearly identical to old Monogram blue plastic of the Big Drag. I left the phone and mufflers off of this one, as a drag car wouldn't have those. But I left the header caps on, because I didn't want to damage the original headers. Enjoy. Edit: I brush painted almost every original Little T donor part with molotow. And look how you can see my reflection of holding my cell phone to take pics in the last photo!

BIGTRUCK Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 That color combo is pretty sharp, and the wide whites pull it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Very very nicely done Jesse , it will look great in your collection ! You're correct that blue is nearly identical to the original Monogram plastic , If one didn't know you painted it they'd swear it was just polished plastic . Very neat and clean !

TarheelRick Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Very pretty little bucket. Like the color. Makes me want to get some of these projects I have started finished so I can build a couple of hot rods, one being a T-bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Very clean looking build. The paint looks smooth, and the chrome trim all looks good. Remember when tuck & roll was a thing on the floors, not practical, but does look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Outstanding. Great "T" bucket. Smooth paint, tuck and roll, wide whites and baby moons are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
