a YELLOW Woody Wagon?- Faux-vivor

[Mr. Metallic]

Welcome to Part III of the "Life Cereal Faux-vivor Fake Out"- a Yellow Woody Wagon

This one was fairly straightforward. I swapped parts from an original issue (molded in red) Woody Wagon built-up with the molded in yellow parts from a 70's edition of the Monogram 30 Woody kit. 

I did use the wood parts from the original issue as well because they skewed more "tan" in color, where later issues of the kit all skewed a little more "orange" (except the most recent release which is all molded in white)

One detail I did add to help sell the "phantom third release" theme of this build was to add the front license plate to the headlight bar of the later issue. This was delicate surgery due to the fragile nature of the parts involved.

After polishing the yellow plastic and making minor repairs to the parts rescued from the original issue built-up it was pretty much straight assembly on this one, other than adding a few flat black and Molotow accents.

 

To borrow a phrase from a popular Marvel TV show and comic series, What If... Monogram had released a third version of this kit before they changed the tooling? This is what it could have looked like. For more pics and details follow the link, and thanks for looking.

Thank you. That's straight out of the origninal issue Monogram Woody Wagon. A very similar setup can be found in the Blue Bandito kit offered a few years ago (which is actually a retooling to bring that kit back to it's original Blue Beetle version)

Great colour Yellow! Next time I get one of these kits, that colour comes first!
