1941 Willys Gasser

[ModelcarJR]

This is the Big  John Mazmanian kit. I bought it from a modeler from Louisiana who endured a flood caused by a hurricane a couple of years ago. The box and decals were destroyed but the plastic was all ok and the instructions were dried out. So instead of building the John Mazmanian replica I built it differently. So I painted it Tamiya Yellow with a black interior. Instead of using the red window glass I cut some acetate and used it. I added a Mad pre-wired distributor with yellow wire and it has been done for a few months now without any decals. I looked for some Mom and Pop decals at Slixx but didn't like any of them. So it sat. 

Then while building the Super Nova, the 69 Chevy Nova kit, I had the idea that I could combine the "Super" decal with the "Hemi" decal from the 68 Dodge Dart kit and create the "Super Hemi" for the door panels. Then I added a few sponsor decals, the Cherry Bomb just for fun, and now it is done before the end of the year!  Happy New Year everyone!

Nice and different, years ago before I found red as my only color I enjoyed both the AMT and the Revell kits of the Willys. Good job on a rescue.

Checking out the Moon tank peeking out of the front. The engine dominates that engine bay. Wow. Nice machine.

Sharp build John!

Really nice looking Gasser. Just goes to show that box-art and instructions are simply suggestions. It definitely is a "cherry" bomb.

Very nice! That color pops! With all the great Willys builds going on I'm itching to crack into one myself.
