bondo bill Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This is a kit from a swap meet that I've been meaning to work on. I had to repair a split hood, but otherwise most of the pieces were in good shape. The paint is two tone, with foil, and I blacked out the grille. I used Duplicolor rechrome on the bumpers, but I might redo it when I have some more time. The tail lights are custom from an AMT '56 Ford. The wheels and tires are from an AMT '36 Ford reissue. I may add some decals or graphics, and a surfboard/surf rack later on. Comments welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Boy, that's a rare bird. Looks great. Clean. I've been told these are slightly over-scale. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo bill Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Boy, that's a rare bird. Looks great. Clean. I've been told these are slightly over-scale. What do you think? Thanks- the scale seems pretty close to me maybe 1/24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've never been a big wagon fan, but I do have to admit, the'61 Ford was a pretty good looking wagon. Pretty clean looking compared to some of the other wagons of the period. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Very nice! Great finish and foil work! Wagons are cool! I think those Hubley kits were 1/24 scale. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Great looking wagon. Love the color choices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Love that color combination! I take it this was a promo (the kits were molded in white); did you have any issues with that plastic? The tail lights are custom from an AMT '56 Ford. Are those custom lenses you added to the '61 bezels, or all new? I could use a set of originals if you took them off. (By the way, if anyone else has one of these they're building stock, look for a set of the custom wheelcovers from the original Monogram '55 Chevy - they're actually '61 Ford plus they're 1/24 scale like the Hubley kit.)
