Karl LaFong Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 The major inspiration for this build was the box art from one of the many re-issues of this kit - I've always liked the canted headlights options for the custom. This one is based on the 90's "Diamond in the Rough" issue. Paint is Tamiya Mica Red over Testor's True Gold. Seats, steering wheel, and center console are from the AMT '49 Merc. Wheels are from the circa 1963 issue of the AMT 1950 Ford convertible. Tail lights are from the parts box; the remaining parts are from the kit. All in all, this is a surprisingly well engineered kit and was a hoot to build.
Roncla Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I'm working my way through one of these at the moment. I've got to agree at how well it is engineered considering it dates from the 60s I believe. You've captured the back in the day look really well. Nice work
wayne swayze Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Very nice! Nice balance of white with the red.
