YBlock292 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 An older kit from Revell (released around 1995) I built last summer. The kit consisted of two body-halfs which had to be glued together, so there was a little gap on the top of the front fenders I covered with flame decals. The kit had already a top chop. I used the wheel/tire combo which was included but gave a little "Thunderbird-Upgrade" to the 312 cui YBlock (air-cleaner and valve covers).
thatz4u Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Great job on a not so great kit, really nice
blunc Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I have the unchopped version of this kit (which originally dates way before the 1990's) so I know what you went through to get this build looking this good. Nice work on a tough kit.
topher5150 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 nice chop job...just watch yer head getting in
Bob Ellis Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Nice job Did you tint the glass, or did it come that way in the kit?
DumpyDan Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Nice paint, and considering malty piece body, looks great
YBlock292 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Hello guys! Thank You very much for Your comments on this 57 Ranchero. Bob: I tinted the glass with Tamiya Clear Blue. Ludwig
Skip Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Great paint, probably the best "multi-part" body Ranchero I've seen. Overall good job!
Dyno Davo Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 That is the best build I have ever seen of that kit. The paint is magnificent
Bob Ellis Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 This may seem strange to hear, but it find some of the multi-piece bodies have a greater fidelity to shape and detail. Particularly the Revell kits. The manufacturing of one piece bodies means flat shallow details that allow the plastic piece to be easily ejected from the tool. All of the new kits has gone to separate interior parts in lieu of a interior tub that had minimal detail on the sides. If you are careful, the multi-piece bodies can be built as well as any. This Ranchero looks great.
Sledsel Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Good looking build of a decent kit (most will argue that though) With patience it builds very nicely, as yours did.
Tom99 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I have one that's not chopped, that I'll never build. Yours came out very nice.
IceMan Collections Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Stunning paint job. Great customization too.
