Maisto 1929 Ford Model A ?

Has anybody built / modded a 29 model A ?

Like the Nova they look a bit odd in the box 'as is' ? Be interested to see any improved builds.

Changing the headers and chassis colour might make a difference but the grill & lights are real bad.

I think I've seen these in kit form at Hobby Lobby, but I'm not 100% sure it's the same thing. 

Couple weeks ago I bought a late-model Boss 302 Mustang diecast "kit" I'm pretty sure is a Maisto. Looks like something fun to Snake-slap together as a slump-buster someday.

They came as metal kits and built ups in various colours.

Front looks too clunky but hides it better in black.

Looks a bit too corny for me.

Thats my point Rob, its a funky kit but was wondering if a change of X or Y part woulda improved it. Most of the diecast I have are quick detail builds rather than a full plastic build. 

Maybe hacking the front off the chassis & replacing with X part will transform it from funky to an ok type model ?

Oh yeah, that whole front suspension is a deal-breaker for me. To fix it I'd have to sacrifice the frame and front end of some kit I'd rather build more.
