AMT 1/25 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup (COMPLETED)

Started this couple days ago. Detailing the engine. My first attempt at spark plug wires.
I think they're a little too long but I'm okay with it.

 

[Tommergun]

That's a great start. As far as the wires....as long as it all fits in the engine bay, should be fine.

spark plug wires

Nice!
I find that when building a vehicle and detailing the engine to some extent, (even if it will only be partially visible, or perhaps not at all), that adding cables, hoses and wires is just so satisfying...
And your yellow wires look great sprouting outta that distributor cap!

 

[TimM63]

A little more progress made.

 

[Tommergun]

Looking great.

This is the stage in a car build when I feel I'm really starting to accomplish something.

That's a great job on the woodwork, looks so real with the grain. Loving it. Pantherman

Thank you gentlemen. I think it turned out better than I thought it would.

I got the cab painted. The tape messed up the finish of the white so I will have to wet sand and repaint the white.

 

[BarleyBop]

That colour combo is gonna be awesome!

 

[TimM63]

I set the body on the chassis to see how it looks. Overall I really like the color combination.

Yessir. Very nice.

 

[TimM63]

I'm calling this one done. I had fun building this kit. There is some fit issues, particularly the cab to the chassis but I like how it turned out.

 

[BarleyBop]

Interesting subject and beautiful finish... Looks like you spent the whole weekend Turtlewaxin'!

 

[Tommergun]

Excellent clean build, and your finish is spot on. Nice one.
