Revell 29 model a 2 n 1

[TNT]

Sat around looking at a few kits n looking at my supply of paints. Could not go down the stairs so spray cans what i had. Air brush is in the basement. Duplicolor metallic green stood out. Primed n painted.       

kept looking and it needed something. Opened my 49 merc kit and there it was, pinstripes.  

  these rims n tires are very nice. Now a few more decisions. The windshield frame was warped on the sprue. May try hot water to fix.

Nice looking color. Wish those dirt track tires could be had in wider sizes.

Thanks. I need to get to the basement with a handful of parts and spend a few hours on the airbrush.

Thanks. The kit has a highboy or channeled frame. The kit has a blower or 3 carb set up. Think i am going tri carb.

I love the color. It suits the model very well. I think the gold pinstripes were a big W too. 
    About that windshield frame… Be very careful! This particular kit comes often with warped parts, mainly due to the amount of them in the box. I had to deal with few warped frames in them. Whatever plastic they make them from our days does not react well to hot water. I tried to fix a frame this way and the hot water distorted it beyond any fixing. Like one of the rails shrunk, compared to the other. Never seen any thing like that. So, just heads up. 
   If you feel adventurous with that motor in the kit, the six carb intake can be cut down and used to make the six carbs sit on top of the blower, which looks really cool. 
  Your build looks really cool so far.

That ole 29 Ford is looking pretty nice there Anthony.  Those dog dish hub caps really make a set of wheels look good.
