1930/1 Model A Sedan delivery - completed

[maltsr]

After a short hiatus I seem to be back in building mode again, so in an effort to keep the momentum going I'm braving a thread in this section in the hope that I will keep this going.

This is the old Cherry Pie kit, but as with a previous 30/31 build I have made the doors fit flush a la '32 Ford for a cleaner appearance. The chassis is from the AMT '32 Phantom Vicky but using the Revell dropped front axle/batwings from the '32 series. The wheels are my current favourite from Pegasus. Hope I haven't upset any purists

[1930fordpickup]

Nice looking Model A .

[slusher]

Very nice start, love the wheels...

[Custom Mike]

Forget the purists Paul, that looks great so far!

[Draggon]

I like it! Making those door fit flush sure changes the appearance. I'm going to have to adopt that when/and or of i build mine.

[Modlbldr]

Wow! I'm glad I popped in on this one. That is beautiful. I really like those new Pegasus wheels on that. It has a great stance. Keep it up.

Later-

Just about finished the engine, which is the flathead from the '32 Sedan. Only mod is added wiring through short pieces of aluminium tube for looms. Next task is to sort out the exhaust to complete the chassis work.

Also gave the paint a quick polish with a sanding cloth, but not going for a super shine on this one.

[Jantrix]

Wow, that looks great.

[slusher]

That is looking great...

[TooOld]

Very sharp looking ! I love the color and the wheels !

[Ace-Garageguy]

Nice combination of proper hot rod bits.

[maltsr]

Got the chassis finished today, remembered to fit the steering box and built a section of the exhaust from aluminium tube to marry the Revell manifolds to the AMT mufflers.

[maltsr]

Thanks everyone. After a bit of modeller's block I've really enjoyed my last two builds.

Well done Paul. Looks good.

Are those the new Pegasus wheels?

Yes James, they are the 'Sovereign' wheel/tyre set. I love these and have a couple more on hand for future projects

[PowerPlant]

The wheels are my current favourite from Pegasus. Hope I haven't upset any purists

What's a purist?

Those wheels are sweet! I must get a set...

Or, like, twelve

[Albie D]

Nice vibe going on with this one.

[Gluhead]

Works for me.

[LacrosseBoss]

Every time I see someone's modifications to box stock here I become less and less of a purist

Looks great so far.
