57 Chevy Pie Wagon

[kingiguana]

OK, this is a Jada 57 Suburban they call it, I say its a panel van. Or perhaps a Pie Wagon. This is 1/64th scale, from thier Old School series from a few years back. I bought this new about 2002-3? I cant remember for sure. Anyways it was flat black with flames, or perhaps scallops, with the wide whites and red steelies with moons. I got it home and took it apart the first night. I stripped the paint, and repainted it with duplicolor,....both ford colors I think,...again it was a few years ago. I took some wheels a tires from a Hotwheels. The PIE WAGON decal came from the Revell Thames, I just used the pie wagon from the Simple Simon decal. Then I put this away, unfinished, and they it sat in a box, until a few nights ago, I decided to finish it. I used bare metal on the front window/visor, and alclad on the headlights, and tailights. Its not perfect, but I still like it. I only wish they made a kit of this in 1/25th. Enjoy !

PS the macro mode brought out some dust specks that look huge in 1/64th.

Fun!!!

I like to get small once in a while too.

Are you sure those aren't snow flakes? Looks like the ground is covered.

KI, Jimmy Flintstone makes that body in resin, a perfect fit for AMT's 55/7 pickup kits. It's a nice clean casting that builds up nice without any fit hassles, makes a great lookin model. Just like yours!

Thanks guys, I'll have to look into the Flintstone piece. Besides 1/25th plastic, customizing diecast is another hobby.
