maltsr Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The Revell 1931 Model A fits nicely on the '32 chassis with just a slight shortening of the chassis wheelbase and a bit of work on the floorpan. I used the flathead engine & chassis from the sedan version, adding plug wires and a fuel block with lines. The bonnet (hood) was joined to make it one-piece. I don't like the treatment of the doors on the real car or the model, so the hinges were removed and the doors modified with strip styrene to fit flush. Wheels are Radirs from a Thunderbolt kit on parts box tyres with hand painted whitewalls, using Games Workshop 'Warhammer' paint. The purple is auto paint from a rattle can and the flames were pirated from the AMT '32 Vicky. The interior features tuck n' roll made with half-round styrene and a photoetch guage cluster and vents from the MCG 1932 set. After building several '32's, it makes a nice change to see a 1930/31 grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
