Revell ‘31 Model A Sedan

Wow on those wheels, Greg. They are gorgeous! 😛

[LennyB]

Nice work Greg. As Jim says the wheels look great. I love working with those backing plates. I cast them whever I have left over resin from something else. I have them all over the place.

[Zippi]

I think all the wheels would work Great Greg but the red really makes it all pop.  

[David G.]

As much as I like the green two-tone wheels, I have to agree with @Zippi.

The red wheels are a bit more striking. I guess it depends on the mood you want to convey: smooth or edgy. They both work well.

The interior looks great too.

Now you guy chime in after I spent the better part of a day and a half on the two tone wheels.🤯 Actually, the more I look at the pictures, the more I agree that the red wheels are a nice contrast. The green wheels tend to make it all look a bit drab.🥴 Seriously, thank you guys (and everyone) for your honesty and input.🙂

This is looking really nice.

Nope! I had all the mockup pics to examine before investing the time in the new wheels. Just as a check, I asked the wife which ones she thought looked best and she didn’t like the red ones, said it looked like a Christmas tree…so I know for sure now that’s the route to go.🙂

Right or wrong the wife is always the deciding factor😁

Mine always hates it no matter what it is. I've learned to hope for indifference 😔

Starting to get some final assembly done now. I went with the red wheels and they are epoxied in place so no changing my mind again. The windows and tail lights are in and the gas cap is on. I got the radiator and shell glued in and some support rods in place. And I scratch built some rad hoses for it.

Greg, this thing is a showstopper. Very unique, and very clean. I like the red wires as much as the '37s. They both work, imho.

Trophy! Thanks for this. Loving the side draft carbs and everything else.

[LennyB]

Greg, that thing looks killer😀

[Supernurd]

Very cool. 👍

They are all the same wheels (resin copies of the’37 pickup artillery wheels) and tires from the original ‘31 model A….just a different paint job.

So one might surmise from that the paint job on the Tudor wasn’t that bad then.  😟

 If you like wrinkle paint, it would be pretty decent. 🤓

 I have not checked in on this for too long. This is smoking hot. Well done. 

[slusher]

Great work Greg!

[Zippi]

Man oh man...what a good looking Hot Rod.  Looking good there Greg.  

[David G.]

It's the "Gettin' Down to Business" coupe!

Excellent call on using the red wheels, everything is coming together quite nicely.
