'34 Ford 3-window Coupe progress...

Hi all. I'm building this to try to overcome modellers' block. It's a simple snap/screw kit but hey, it's still a model right?!:) Color suggestions are welcomed.:) This is probably one of very few progress threads you'll ever see me make.

:eek:

black w/ blue flames, or maybe orange

looking good! KEEP us updated!

Me like!!!

i love these older street rods and stuff.

cut the hood out and make it with a open hood so you can see the engine detail.

gloss black
Gloss red

or a exotic color like some type of pearl blue or yellow

The ultimate color for this beuatiful R34 are:

1.Yellow
Nothing to eb said...it's yellow...

2.Blue with white-yellow-orange flames!
Drawing,masking and painting them will be a diferent experience hat could easily get you started again...It's a great feeling to see such a difficult paintjob complete...

3.Blue with white-lightblue-dark blue flames!
The same as above...

4.If you go the 'new' way a light orange pearl or a light purple will do the job and with the chrome alloys will give you a hot car...


This are the best colors out there..THe only one left is the rat road look but I doesn't seem you are after it so...Have a nice built...

I hope I helped you a bit

Great work until now...

P.S:What kit is that?What was the pirce?

P.S:What kit is that?What was the pirce? Thanks all, I paid $5 for the kit and added the wheels and tires from another kit. I think it's gonna be yellow unless I get pissed and step on it first.:eek: It's the Revell "Wheels of Fire" snap kit.

Yellow? Man that thing is screaming for a coat of flame RED

Great job on the interior...the door handles/window cranks in BMF?

Keep the progress threads alive! I for one get a kick out of watching other kits "come to life". So keep use posted!

Good to see you went for a nice aswell as easy kit to overcome your block Antonio. I say dark gun metal with some red or lighter red/pink flames :cool: Theres a 32 like that somewhere around were I live.

people around here getting interested in hot rods now huh? can anyone say "VARIETY"? it's nice to see a good mix of kits getting built now. I say do a deep purple gloss, or a light blue gloss. no flames, no graphics, nice and subtle.

You picked a perfect kit for recharging your batteries. It's a simple, good-looking model that takes detailing in any level you give it. I had a blast building mine a couple of years ago.

I built mine w/a modern, conservative color scheme, and "newstalgic" wheels/tires (from the Modelhaus). Some Replicas and Miniatures of MD photoetch (windshield frame and banjo steering wheel), and a lowering job on the front end were all it took to get a really tasty model. Yours will look great w/the modern rims. I'd be tempted to two-tone it in a charcoal gray or black over silver, for a more high-tech look. But that's just me...;) :D

I've got another one of these (a half-price special from Hobby Lobby) that I want to make into a rat rod.
