Stutz Bearcat 1914

[kjohan]

The MPC model, an old one

The decals of the pinstriping wwere  not possible to use, so it is plain yellow,
the left front wheel somewhat distorted including one of the spokes broken,
but managed to push backto position. Almost.
The right front fender was also distorted downward/inwards.
Again some determined pressure etc....  Almost

Anyway a nice kit to build

 

EDIT : apparently something strange in the first post, despite looking ok in my computer when posting

The photos apparently were transferred to some long text files /"links"afterwards,
though i found it was actually possible to see the photos by clicking on a small symbol which appeared after clicking on the long text files.
Did it in another way now, hopefully it works now but the first photo is small for some reason / can´t enlarge it

Anyway...

Nice work!  These were the supercars of their day.

Very nice model. 

I have the Airfix Stutz and I think they used the same tools. 

[Yeah Nah]

Is it just me or is anybody else having trouble viewing the pics here?

I think you're right.  MPC also sold several Airfix kits over here.

 

Also not seeing the photos here.

Looks great and like the detailing on the seats and all the exposed controls. 

[Jim B]

That's really cool.  Is that 1/24?

My grandfather owned one of those back in the 'teens. Yours is a very tidy build- great job.

[Deathgoblin]

Lovely build!

Thanks for fixing the viewing problem Gunnar. Now I can appreciate your model! Nice job.

Thank you all for kind comments

Not many pioneer roadster kits in any scale.

Nice build from that very elderly kit and something a bit out of the ordinary.

Re wkipedia: in 1915 Erwin "Cannon ball" Baker drove from NYC to the West Coast in or perhaps rather "on"  a Bearcat in 11 days   7 hrs and 15 min

Imagine driving across the continent sitting w/o practically any protection and on the roads as they were at that time.

Required some determination.

Beautiful Build of one of my Favorite Cars! The Colour is Spot On, and you detailing is sharp!

 

Good Show.
