Finished this one up today. It’s based on the Revell kit with cut down fadeaway fenders from the new coupe kit, '54 Chevy rear fender extensions and mini skirts from a Lindberg '53 Ford. The custom rear pan mounts a '54 Chevy front bumper, wheels are ’56 Ford Vicky and it's got a nailhead...

Awesome job!
It's amazing seeing the roughed up plastic at the start and the beautiful tidy, polished finish at the end.
Well done and great skills.

Thanks for the nice words guys - glad you like it! Smile

I'm well thanks Fred. Been busy riding motorbikes around race tracks and living out my Casey Stoner fantasies! Doesn't leave much time for forum lurking or model building. Hope you're well too.

I haven't built a "small" scale car for years. This is a very clean build and everything in it's place.
Paint is also just right.

Geez, I hope the next one I manage to finish turns out as good!

Use of the Chevy quarter panels works really well and the standard of finish is off the wall as we'd expect from you.

So when will we see you challenging Marc Marquez for the championship?
