Fender skirts resin or?

[rust-n-dust]

Hey group,

Does anyone know of a source for fender skirts for 1940's and 50's vehicles in scale? I tried MODELHAUS with limited success

I know that the AMT 39/40 Ford sedan, the original AMT 36 Ford coupe, and I think the original AMT 40 Ford coupe had them. Revell's 55 Chevy convertible and both 59 Chevrolet kits contains skirts, as does the AMT 49/50 Fords and 51 and 58 Chevrolets. Most of the AMT annuals from 58-64 also would have fender skirts. If you give a shout out on the trade forum, there should be some modelers with them in their stash, that might fix you up. Having a picture of the opening that needs to be skirted would be helpful when asking. What Mark said is true. I generally make my own from .030 Plastruct/Evergreen sheet.

I make mine outa sheet aluminum. Anything from turnpike cruisers to 30s & 40s. I also make continental kit extensions from it. Here's a link to my PB and how I do it.
