David G. Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) My first build of 2017. The biggest hurdle with this kit was blending in the front panel insert. I think it came out pretty good. License Plates and Mirrors! I'm very pleased with the paint and foil work on this one. The ride height may be a little high, but it's not too bad. The original third brake light! This was a fun kit to build and it makes a good looking model when it's finished. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

StevenGuthmiller Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Terrific!We don't see nearly enough of these built stock. Steve
charlie8575 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 The end result is nice. The way they set up the wheels was not one of AMT's better ideas. Nice job painting them.Charlie Larkin
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Very very nice!!!Refreshing to see more factory stock builds.Have this one on the stash, and I know that making it look so good was not a easy job. Not one of AMT's best efforts.
David G. Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Looks great, good color choiceThanks Dan. That's a great looking '41! Nice job!Thank You Wayne Terrific!We don't see nearly enough of these built stock. SteveI agree Steve. Hot rods are nice, but I like stock every bit as much and maybe just a little more. The end result is nice. The way they set up the wheels was not one of AMT's better ideas. Nice job painting them.Charlie LarkinThanks Charlie, it was a bit tricky but I'm pretty happy with the way they came out. Very very nice!!!Refreshing to see more factory stock builds.Have this one on the stash, and I know that making it look so good was not a easy job. Not one of AMT's best efforts. Thanks Tulio, it's nice to have those efforts recognized. Very well done!Thanks Bo. I wanted to build a streamliner and I was deciding between this one and Revell's 1948 Ford Police Coupe and I wanted an relatively easy "knock together" kit. I was a little surprised by the way AMT chose to engineer the front panel assembly. Had I known, I probably would have chosen the Ford. I believe I'll pick up one eventually, but I would have grabbed it first that day.Thanks again!David G.
Erik Smith Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Excellent. Very nicely done. Great work on that front end. Nice weather too
Davewilly Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Great looking Plymouth! (I thought that looked like a AZ backyard!)
David G. Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 It looks fabulous-awesome everything !!! Thanks Marty. Excellent. Very nicely done. Great work on that front end. Nice weather too Thank you Erik. Yup, gotta love Phoenix in January. Great looking Plymouth! (I thought that looked like a AZ backyard!) Thank you Dave. There do seem to be a lot of people on this forum from AZ. Your pics make make it look real. Nice job. Thanks Jim, and it's.... SHINY! David G.
espo Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Very nice build. You did get that front end looking perfect. I haven't built this model but the others I have seen here this seems to be the biggest problem with the body on this.
bbowser Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Great job on a less than stellar kit. I don't think there were many of these "old maid" Plymouths in 'look at me' red, but it really looks good.
Foxer Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 This came out beautiful! Red really sets it off.
PowerPlant Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 This is likely the nicest build of this kit I've ever seen... Great photos too, most make the model look real!
David G. Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Very nice build. You did get that front end looking perfect. I haven't built this model but the others I have seen here this seems to be the biggest problem with the body on this. Thanks David, it was a challenge but I think I kicked it. Agree! Thanks Donald Great job on a less than stellar kit. I don't think there were many of these "old maid" Plymouths in 'look at me' red, but it really looks good. Thanks Bruce. When researching this build, I did find a number of them on line that looked to have been originally painted in a dark red. The shade of red I picked for this one did not turn out as dark as I had planned. This came out beautiful! Red really sets it off. I think it does too, thanks Mike. This is likely the nicest build of this kit I've ever seen... Great photos too, most make the model look real! Thank you Matija. David G.
CometMan Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Very nice, David! It's very nice to see something besides the usual Fords & Chevys, especially a stock one.
David G. Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Very nice, David! It's very nice to see something besides the usual Fords & Chevys, especially a stock one.Thanks Craig, I do tend to like the unusual ones. Super sharp and clean Plymouth David!!!Thanks Carl, I'm glad you like it. Looks great!Thank you Chris. David G.
David G. Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Great looking model and excellent photos. Thanks Peter. BTW, if the New Zealander is looking for Old Zealand, he's nearly there; it's farther north near Denmark. David G.
