hobbybobby Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Well, I have no idea what kit this was (maybe someone here knows), I know only that it was one of the first. Decals combined with hand-painted grafics, hey, those were the days... Hope, you like it.
slusher Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 IT is an amt kit not a 29 but not sure of the year. Nice build..
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) IT is an amt kit not a 29 but not sure of the year. Nice build.. Very good guess, Carl, and that's what I thought initially. It's actually a Monogram 1/24 '30/31 Model A. I also thought it might be the AMT '32 Chevy, but the giveaway to its true identity is the triangular-pattern ribs on the panel just behind the seat, the door panel details, the '30/'31 Ford grille shell, and the appearance that the body shell was made for a top, plus the size and shape of the rumble seat, and the pointy character line moldings on the upper cowl sides. It's definitely got AMT wheels / tires, and a chopped windshield adapted from something else. It's also got some nice custom touches like the painted grille shell, lowered headlights, the front frame spreader bar, a nice hot-rod rake that took some effort to achieve with the Monogram kit, and custom hood sides with no louvers. I think the graphics work quite well for this kind of period build too. We don't see very many full-fender '30-'31 model A Ford convertibles (this kit is actually a cabriolet, not a roadster) because this is the only kit, far as I know. I like it.
