Been doing progress on rodfather and am enjoying it.  Decided to paint the body grape purple as it suits well with the decal colors instead of navy blue.  |

..I ended-up going with the Revell 1/12 Mustang Just spent 2 days struggling to get this thing to 'sit' right. The front suspension was already fragmented when I got it, but even when I returned it all to original, it looked more like a 4x4. Replaced the front tyres for the smaller 1/12 Camaro type. I'd appreciate some opinions on whether it looks 'right'? I'm sick of staring at the bloody thing & You lot would have a better chance, I'm hoping, from having them around them more, of knowing? More work done on the front to alleviate the bulldog/flattened nose look that it has in the original kit form. Odds & ends that had to be made & the bonnet was modified so the intake will sit directly on the carbs', what we call a 'Shaker' in down here in 'straya.    |

Wheel wells look good in relation to the tires as well. I think those Camaro tires look good on it no matter how wrong that sounds. Old Henry wouldn’t have wanted any Chevy parts on his beloved Fords! Ha Ha! Todd |

...Thanks man!
Yeah the original wheels/tyres are 16" 1:1 scale which are a bit too bulky. So, I'll use the Camaro Cragar rims front & rear, smaller Camaro tyres on the front & the larger original tyres on the back with an insert to deepen them. DONE!

Looks great, Kieran
I'm a Cragar S/S guy all the way, (got a set on my 72 Camaro, and a pair sitting here in the living room)
There is not a lot to work with in 1/12 scale, so this is a perfect combo.
And the deepened rears and other parts look good also.
keep up the good work
Jim

Thanks Guys! Here’s a couple of in progress shots of the some of the painted stuff and the interior mocked to the body and frame. I even found a phone from a builder I got a ways back. That was some fun plastic parts removal without damaging the phone! It’s mounted on the lower right of the dash.   Thanks for looking! Todd |

Well,I got some paint work done on my Rat Vega WIP. I think our warm days are done here until next year in my part of the world. I love Tamiya spray paints!  I feel our buddy Bob -(Hotwheels)-smiling down on me!! This will be a tribute build for him,but it won’t be the only one! Todd |
