KoolKits '32

The Big Duece is on the bench for a bit of TLC including some new tyres from the current issue kit as the old hollow tyres are shot from a few decades of hulking styrene sitting on them!, these kits are mighty heavy when complete so I hope these tyres give Dave a few more decades. Here's how it sits at the moment so lets rip into it and hopefully I will have it sorted by the time Autochamps rolls around!





Lets see if we can restore this baby back to it's former glory and add some little extra touches along the way!!

nice 1, its huge!!!

A magnificent model worthy of restoration. Good on you Paul!

Very nice... can't wait to see it with some A.S.S brown carpet

Man I want one of these kits. andy of scaleautomobilia had 1 at the QMHE. (Damn budget)

How's this for ya Andy!!

Now that's A.S.S Brown!!!!!!

Front end needed some Aluminium tubing to replace the broken styrene and it's probably stronger than new now!



Fresh set of Rubber along with New carpet and Aluminium exhaust tips to replace the damaged oldies, a black wash in the grill, and it's pretty much done.




Wanna Ride!

Fantastic stuff.. the A.S.S. brown carpet is sweet.
Dave should be wrapped with the facelift

Hi Paul I,m thinking of doing this one as it looks pretty awesome . I am wondering how hard it is to build , apart from taking up a bit of room , like the Pocher '84 Ferrari Testarossa did when I built that. I believe there is a flathead V8 in this kit as well . Anyway , Nice Build!

Hey BBK, this was just a rebuild for a friend and mines still waiting to be built. They look like a simple enough kit to build, the current version has a Flathead plus a bunch of other cool stuff..................Cheers

is this the kit that comes 3 in 1 you can build it 3 ways? if yes I've got one the same that's my avatar

over all very nice

Ash this was an old issue and not the latest 3'n1

I've got one the same that's my avatar

Well lets see some pix then!!!

Nice model Paul - this just looks so cool.

One of my old tricks with large scale tyres was to pack them tightly with tissue paper before mounting them onto the rims. That way they didn't sag so much over the years.
