Lindberg 1925 T Street Rod

[plastimatic]

A kit I've used a few times in custom bashes, but one I wanted to give props to on its own.
Lindberg's issue of the 1:32 1925 T Street Rod:

It nicely fits together and there is definitely attention to workable details.
It's not finicky, and for this type of kit, very well rounded.
Sure, a few shortcuts were made, front axle and rear transmission housing for example, but, hey, for the time period...


Bucket is done up in metallic green with homemade flames and the canopy in bone white.
Chassis is Flat Iron. The hubs and shiney silver parts were done in chrome pen.


So, nothing wild, just wanted to give it some well earned respect on the shelf.

Thanks for lookin' in!

1:32 sounds like a bit more of a challenge--was it? (compared to a normal 1:24 or 1:25). Looks clean for such an old kit. Good choice on the bone-white top.

Superb! I wish we could find more of these kits especially here in the UK.

Not challenging at all. Most of the itsy-bits are molded in.

And, looking at my shelves, I don't have any standard, un-bashed or not-show-rodded 1:25 Ts to compare to.

But definitely easier than a Roth kit.

The body went thru several color changes, but that roof was one and done!

I think I got lucky on Ebay a couple of times.

Thanks, Bob.
The last time I opened one, it ended up looking like this (from a Car-Toons Summer Fun contest):

No way I could do anything smaller than 1/24 1/25
I have a hard enough time with that.
Very nice and clean.
I like anything Green.
