37 ford coupster

[doomcrew]

i just read the thread on the Jairus Watson artwork challenge, and saw one of the kits was the coupster, and thought "oh dear, i built this too soon". this was the first model car i had built in over eight years, the 39 chevy woodster was the last. this is the coupster kit, but i used the extra parts thats used for the smoothster. i added the engine from revell 32 ford with turned ally parts including the wheels. the paint is metalflake pearl blue over metallic blue.

thanks for lookig.

here are a few more pics. it wasn't getting a good image of the interior before, as the roof is so low, but these shots look ok. i also wanted some of the flake to show in a pic, hence the top shot.

thanks guys. this was my first model car after an eight year break. i didn't like the original kit, ie the roof and the fact that the rear didn't fit or that testors still didn't put in any steering linkage. it was a good job a have lots of parts.

Steve-

Simply beautiful paint and workmanship. I like these Testors kits and can't wait to get around to building mine. Welcome back and nice job.

Later-

thanks modlbldr.

the paint came from a rattle can believe or not. there is a company here in the UK that does special finishes for spray guns, air brushes and spray cans.

i like the smoothster kit, but not the coupster as i thought that the roof looked a bit weird.

i also couldn't understand why they didn't put a better fitting rear pan and steering linkage in. the wheels are good though.

what kit are you going to build?
