Monogram Paddy Wagon

[Silvercreeker]

First build of 2024.  This was a Christmas gift from my daughter, THANKS!!!

The Monogram Paddy Wagon, one of my all-time favorite kits from the past. Exactly one month to get this together.  Built this when I was a kid back in 1971.  This time she got the details she deserves!!!

Here are the details of this build.  Painted decanted Testors Deja Blue Lacquer and chrome stripped and painted Alclad Pale Gold.  Added gas tank and Gofer woodgrain decals in back and cab.  Engine has VCG Resins coil, Iceman Collections Carter Carbs on the crossram, fuel pump, and oil filter.  Detail Masters spark plug wires, wire looms and fittings.  Protech fuel lines, and throttle linkage.  Detail Masters throttle, brake and clutch pedals, and a police radio from an AMT police car.  Headlight inner decals from STS. Pegasus rear disc brakes, and valve stems added to the wheels. I loved this kit and pretty much all Tom Daniel models.  Off to another year of cool hotrods!  Enjoy.

Very cool indeed.

I built one around 1970 when I was a young teen. I have very fond memories of building this kit back then. Might be tempted again if I spot one on the shelf at the local hobby emporium.

cheers, Graham

Boy that looks Super sharp.  I really like that Deja Blue Lacquer.  Nicely detailed.

Looks good! I built this kit for 1st time 21 years ago. I have 2 unbuilt ones in my stash. When i build it again it is getting the details it deserves also. Back then my skills were not honed yet for detailing.
