AMT 32 Ford Roadster

[Yeah Nah]

I had a couple of different 90s issues of this kit and there were some unidentified odd extra parts including a centre steering instrument panel and a small windscreen. Thanks to the wonderful Drastic Plastics website (link below) I was able to find out their origin: old Trophy Series issues. The Lindberg 32 Hot Rod kit had the required decals so I managed to produce a combination of two Trophy kits. 

The windscreen was unusable so used it for a pattern cut from acetate. Unfortunately the canvas 'cockpit' cover wasn't there so I made a pair from umbrella nylon. Anything else required came from the spares box.

Anyway, pretty happy with the result. Let me know what you think.

Very nice, you have really managed to build in the present without disturbing the spirit of the vintage kit, it is more difficult than you think, I have failed to do so myself with this particular kit by the way.

Thanks for the material tips.

Great looking paint work and finish. Like the engine detailing. Looks better than their box art.

Looks awesome ,  even by today's standards. There is something specially rewarding about building old kits and bring them to this level. Amazing job Garry, a testament to your craftsmanship.
