Dyno Davo Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Hi everyone, this is my first serious attempt at modifying a diecast model. This is the Road Legends 1/18 Ford Falcon 1963 ½ that when I bought it was all red in color. My changes/mods were; Lowered suspension Custom wheel/tires sourced from three other kits and then the thin white wall was added to the tyres Convert to a V8 engine Twin exhaust system with Bellflower pipes Complete re-color of the interior White shag carpet Custom gear shift and turn signal arm Pearled steering wheel De-chromed body Lace panelling on body and roof Custom paint (Dusky Rose on the body and white/silver flake on the roof) Custom headlights Floating bar grille Custom tail lights
Ramfins59 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Great looking model David, I love those Bellflower pipes.
TooOld Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Great looking Falcon ! That's a lot of work and it really paid off !
Maindrian Pace Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Fantastic! Perfect in theme and execution. Also reminds me of a Weesner work. -MJS
