Pair 'O 40's

I've got a couple of 40's on the bench at the moment, just some fun stress free building - .............(something I really need right now )


Anyway here's the first one which is a resto of an old build from the 70's...............1/24th Monogram Lemon Crate.



...and here's where I'm at,



the second 40 on the bench ain't no Ford or Chev but it is a ute, pix soon.................

Looks awesome mate! The colour combo makes it pop!! Is that just a gold/bronze or a custom colour mate?

It's Bronze...........straight outta the rattle can (Testors One Coat Lacquer)

looking sweat as mate love the colour sceme to looks great

Here's my second '40.............it's a Willys!! I glue bombed one of these in my youth so this one's being built in honor of the one I destroyed

.....Paint is Testors Purple-Licious Lacquer, and there's some parts bin rear tyres and Johan front tryes with rims from the AMT '60 vette.



Sorry for the lousy pix.........I've got a bulb out in my booth

Both look great, but that bronz and black, the stanc, the wheels, just tops it all off

That's the best I've seen one of those 40 Fffffffff......Ffffffor, nah can't say that either , shit of a kit, love the Willy's, that another bastid of a kit , love the colour and the donk, what are the rocker covers off?

Man that Bronze one has the best stance and wheel choice. I looked at the box art and then your creation, they don't even look like the same kit!
Like 'em both.

Thanks Guys!

There straight outta the box Kirk.,

Cool, thanks Paul, may have to track one down.

Looking good there Paul.

That's a '41 Willys (despite what AMT say on the box). The '40 had the grille split into 2 halves.

Zen...Zen....Zen.....Zen...........Zen

Of all the people Zen

cool pair

Must admit this is not the "pair of 40's" I was expecting to see, however the cars are just as good. Love that bronze colour and the louvred bonnet. That Willy's is sweet!

Thanks Paul And the Willys looks great too

Looking great Paul some real nice work. By the way mate where are you getting the Testors laquer? Can't find it anywhere!!!

Smokey Bob's Has the full range - 104A Hemmings street, Dandenong West (Closed Mon's and Tue's)

Model & Hobbies 4U have most of the 1st lot of colours only, unless they now carry the rest - There in Boronia


Bob sell them for $9.90 and Boronia around $12

HTH

Heh, heh, heh.

That's not rivet counting (and there are 115 in that picture ), it's pedantry. Something i'm an old hand at.

I was just messing with ya Fred ..................but it's actually quite common in the 1:1 world to add 41 fronts to 40's, and if ya look at the AMT kit it's a pretty bad representation of a 41 grill anyway!!

Yep. There's almost no difference between the rest of the bodies and there were plenty of 'glass '41 fronts around at the height of the Gasser Wars.

Shame. I prefer the '40 nose.

Got the chassis done,



Now onto the interior and polishing paint

thats coming along nicley mate very nicely well done

Really nice work there Paul, can't wait to see it finished, and cheers for the info on the paint.
