Pop's 39

[XYHARRY]

G'day all, just finished my rendition of the Revell '39 Chevy sedan delivery. This is a nice kit and goes together without too much drama. Detail is good until you come to do the interior. It has no door trim detail and the bucket seats went straight to the parts box. I used a spare bench seat painted semi gloss black with matt black inserts and red flocking for the carpet. I added scratch built armrests and window cranks. Steering wheel is from the Revell 64 Impala with column mounted tachometer. 

                    The exterior colour is Tamiya As5 light blue (Luftwaffe) with Tamiya Ts13 gloss clear, which ran out halfway through the first coat so I finished it with Mr Hobby gloss clear. 

                   Items I used from the parts box are the steelies, dog dish hubcaps, tyres and air filter (kit doesn't have an air filter). I added fuel lines and plug wires. I also added exhaust tips which were scratched out from some plastic tubeing then chromed with an SMS chrome pen. 

                   Pop's 39 is a Galveston local and is often seen parked near Pleasure Pier while Pop is out surfing. Thanks for looking, and as always, your comments are welcomed and appreciated. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

PS. Pop is a fictional character.

Like the understated color and great paint finish. Clean grill and bumpers. Nice interior upgrades. The engine looks like "Pop" could get to the beach on a hurry if the Surfs Up.

Dang David,  that's one kewl looking 39.  I really like the overall look.  The color with the steelies and dog dish hubcaps just sets it off.  One fine looking ride.

Cool build.  The black wheels and thin white walls are a nice touch.

Looks great!

I like the look and stance for sure. The black wheels and white walls really set it off. It's all got a legit old school, yet custom look. Very nicely done.

 

Nice box art photo
