The AMT '29 Ford Woody:
It comes with the stylin' Stingray bike, and (tho rarely mentioned), a skateboard!
The cab, wood frame and roof are all one piece, and the side panel inserts are separate (makes two-toning a lot easier).
The beige cowl and hood are the kit's plastic, lightly polished, with some accent touches. The bike's all chrome frame got a layer of Tamiya clear red, with a sparkle blue banana seat and grips. I also added a kickstand (for display purposes).
Thanks for lookin'!

Another quality build and thanks for the extra work on the bike! Did you shoot the transparent red right over the chrome or strip the chrome off first?

Really neat! It looks like parts from the MPC Wild Ones!

Makes me feel Zen all over! Excellent color harmony. Feels comfortable just looking at it. Beautiful job.

Another quality build and thanks for the extra work on the bike! Did you shoot the transparent red right over the chrome or strip the chrome off first? I left the bike in chrome. Glued all the contact area together, with the exception of the handlebar/fork mount front edge (so that I could slip those in later). Then a layer of thin clear red was just brushed over the frame area. Same goes for the seat and grips, only in blue shimmer. The photos don't do it enough justice. It's a nice little piece.

Really neat! It looks like parts from the MPC Wild Ones! I believe so. This one was from a 1987 release. I've got a leftover soft-top bucket and bench seat, the pickup bed, spoke wheels set of 5, and an all chrome engine.
