Another of my oldies....'40 Willys B/Gasser

[traditional]

This relatively simple model of a '40 Willys gasser was built around 1980 using the Revell Stone/Woods/Cook kit and modified to look like a typical basic B/Gasser of the early '60s.

Modifications included typical details of that era....rear fender lip, '40 style grill opening, simplified interior, hood scoop (using injectors rather than blower), plumbing-pipe push bar, and some then popular amber tinted windows.

My paint preference back then was automotive lacquer with pactra details and Letraset class number. Foil trim was cut from muffler-tape.

Now-a-days, I'd have added a lot more detail, but thanks to a display case, it's stayed in good condition and I'm happy to have it as a page from my modelling past.

You did a nice job on the doors and I think the trunk,Can we see more engine pic's?

Very nice and clean build up.

That's a really cool looking Willys Clifford! Sure doesn't look like it was built over thirty years ago. I like the gasket detail around the rear fenders. That's something a lot of people overlook.

Very Cool Willys build. Can't believe that it's like brand new, after around 30 years sitting in the display case! I like the paint on it and you nailed that right stance and look of early 60's Gassers.

Very nice , clean Willys . I love the color !

[Jantrix]

Wow. That looks dynamite. Never mind its a 30+ year old build which is in itself an accomplishment.

[Draggon]

Thats great, I dont care if its simple, you captured the look! Ya know Clifford, you build the most cleanest models!

[John Goschke]

Really outstanding build from a very tough kit!

[Terry Sumner]

Some folks have called me the Gasser Nazi because of my love for accurately built gasser models. Well that may be...I dunno. But what I do know is that this one is excellent! Great job my friend!

Nice, just noticed the rear fender welting, nice touch, I think that is the first time I have seen that done ....... Another home run !
