Art Laski Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks for the nice comments! Len, the "brass" injector fittings are just Evergreen Item 131 .030 X .030 square strip painted testors gold. I drilled and pinned in with craft wire and drilled it where the "hose" attaches. -Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Laski Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks guys, but the model gods are cursing me a bit. I've taken a couple steps back, but I'll have an update soon. I do appreciate your interest, my friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybill1960 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I hope that the modeling gods have been appeased! For "ALL" our sakes, this is one build that i would not wish them to curse at all! I would hope this build to be a blessing 10 fold! Mostly because it's a Willys!! I just love those Willys!! Thank You for sharing with Us here and I hope all is better soon!! Later Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Laski Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks, Russ! We're getting back on track here. I got the wheels and tires completed. I wanted the wheels to reflect the Dow coating that the new Halibrand wheels would have on them when they roll out of the factory. I used a mixture of Testors Brass and Aluminum Plate Metalizers to get the look I wanted. I also added some wingnuts from a Revell Cobra kit.
