bbowser Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Finished this one up last night. I'm really getting into these brass era cars. This is a really nice kit that goes together well. I used pinstriping tape for the fenders as the decals were too brittle. Searched Google for images and found quite a few with the apple green engine, so that's what I went with. Comments welcome, thanks for looking!
GeeBee Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Very nice, I built the Airfix version some time ago, I have the MPC version in the stash, I love these old timers, and you did a good job of building this one ....
Wagoneer81 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Very nice! I have one of these and a 1909 Thomas Flyer that I really need to build... I'm with you, I love the early 20th Century 'Brass Era' autos.
Mackvision Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice build! I have the same kit on-deck (the MPC "Bearcats" edition) just lacking the wheels and tires. I want to do it very similar to yours and was wondering the best way to attempt the pinstripes on the hood and fenders,got a pretty good idea how to proceed now!.....................................................Mark
Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Super nice!! Loved all about it. Looks like Harry is making some disciples...
ChrisBcritter Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Very sharp job! Gives me an idea which I'll post in another thread... hope you don't mind if I copy part of a photo. Edited November 6, 2014 by ChrisBcritter
unclescott58 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice. What kit is this? People are guessing MPC. Is it? Scott
tim boyd Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 excellent choice of topic and a very, very clean build.....congrats....TIM
peekay Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Looks really great - amazing what an optical lift your pin-striping gives the model.
bbowser Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice. What kit is this? People are guessing MPC. Is it? Scott Yes it's the MPC kit. The chrome tree had some issues, I repainted the inside of the headlights but missed the inside of the driving (?) light on the dash. The only thing I'm not happy about is the fit of the firewall to the back of the hood, otherwise I'm pleased. Chris, I'm flattered, copy any pics you wish! Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
