The Understater – ’36 Ford Taildragger

The Understater – ’36 Ford Taildragger

This is the old AMT kit – chopped, dropped, nosed, decked and shaved. I wanted to do a really subtle custom. Something that you need to look at twice to be sure it is modified.

The engine is the kit flattie dressed up with some speed parts from my spares box. The bumpers are ’40 Ford and wheels are Caddy Sombreros (thanks Paul). The rest pretty much came out of the box.

Gotta admit I really enjoyed building this kit. It’s got the usual AMT fit issues, but nothing insurmountable. It’s also pretty simple, but I kinda like that in a custom these days. I will definitely do another one of these as a stock roof height hot rod at some point in the future.

thats one cool hot rod

thats awesome! love the detail

Nice work Bryce, looks awesome!!

very nice mate, stance is killer and that shine is so .........

Great job, and very neat.

Sure is pretty mate!! well done

You certainly achieved your goal with this one mate . Beautifully done.

That looks pretty good Bryce. Gives me a bit of an idea on what to do with the same that I received at Tumut NNL as an encouragement award for my T Roadster , except I'll go with the Droptop version in Mint Green

I wasn't real keen on the bumpers at first. But seeing it finished is a different story.
Well done Bryce, great shine and detail. Two thumbs!

Thanks for all the nice words guys.

Nice work as usual mate.

Cheers Tony.

Awesome model, Bryce! You've really nailed it, I thought sombrero's only looked good on 40's and 50's cars, but I've changed my opinion now!

Beautiful .
Your builds ALWAYS look top notch and this one is no exception.
Nice work mate.

Old school custom at it's best! Me likes!!!

I'm in the same boat Tezza How did I miss this another build that surpasses all before it well done Brice

Awesome work. Where did you get the white walls? I have a 49 ford project that needs them badly. Nice work, looking good my friend.

Thanks for all the nice words guys!

These ones came from the latest release of the Revell '50 Ford F1 truck. But I quite often make my own using an airbrush, Tamiya flat white acrylic paint and a circle template. I can prepare a 'how to' if you want some more info - let me know.
