TheCat Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 This is my first build of a Gasser. I must say, this kit was allot of fun to build. I'm planning to build another one in the future. As this my first ever Gasser, hopefully I did it justice.
lrlocke01 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 What color paint did you use on the wheels or is it a black wash?
Bartster Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 One of my favorite cars of all time. And yes, l think you did it justice. The stance looks like it's ready to launch! Bart
rmvw guy Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 You did and I love it! Nice paint work and details, the engine looks great and I always like to see another parachute with the cords. Nice job!
TheCat Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 What color paint did you use on the wheels or is it a black wash? I used Citadel's paint named Boltgun.thank you everyone for the great comments. I did have lots of fun building this kit.
charlie@mrtractorsales.com Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Real nice Felix. How much time on this one ? Wheels and tires look great.
TheCat Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Real nice Felix. How much time on this one ? Wheels and tires look great. Thank you Charlie - it took me almost three weeks to complete.
Silver Foxx Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Looks terrific - just got this kit myself , hope it turns out as nice as yours.
Mister Twister Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Its real clean with some nice details...Good work.
AZ Boy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 VERY nicely done! I really like what you did with the wheels. Nice detail to the engine too!
W-409 Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Nice build of great kit! Detailing looks super. Chassis is good looking too, paintjob turned out well and so on. Great work. But next time drill those headers out .
Willys36 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Very well done. One thing that bugs me about that Revell kit is the front wheels/tires. For some reason after getting aboutevery detail correct in the rest of the kit, they made the front wheels and tires way too wide. Go figure.
rustybill1960 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Your build is "spot-on!!" Felix! A beautiful model!! I like your detailing touches. Are those the kit decals or Slixx? I really like the WILLYS kits! One of my all time favorite builds, does not matter which kit, coupe, pick up or van, '33 or '41, love them all! Thank You for sharing Later Russ Edited June 14, 2012 by rustybill1960
JPolli Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I agree with the size of the front tires. Substituting the tires with the original Revell 41 Willys tires might not fit either as they are just a little small. I good substitute might be the front funny car tires on the Revell Funny car kits. Felix, what did you use for your parachute cord? Jim
brad4321 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Great looking build. I'm almost finished with this one. You have any issues with the front windshield fitting properly??

Thank You for sharing Later Russ The decals comes in the kit. They give you 3 versions to choice from. They are great decals and they go on smoothly. I like this kit so much that I bought another one. So, there's another Willy's build in the future.

TheCat Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 Great looking build. I'm almost finished with this one. You have any issues with the front windshield fitting properly?? Thank you very much... No major issue with the front windshied... it went on a little bit snuggly, but no issues.
Terry Sumner Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I used Citadel's paint named Boltgun. thank you everyone for the great comments. I did have lots of fun building this kit. And that's what matters the most!
