Revell '41 Willys "Demon II"

[mustang1989]

Started out with these two kits and a Pro Street vision between the two.

I've always had an eye for Revell's "Street Demons" series back in 1983 but I don't really care for the gasser look that a few of 'em had...……..this one in particular. In staying with the theme I set out to change things up a little bit in the way of a slight color change up, stance, powertrain and interior.

Powertrain : Came from the Revell 1968 Hemi Dart kit with upgrades to the ignition, fuel and throttle linkage systems.

Wheels: From Future Attractions. I had my machine shop at work cut the rear wheels in half due to the fact that they were just too dang wide to use with the tires I had.

Paint: Testors Icy Blue Lacquer, Testors White Lightning Lacquer and Testors Wet Look Clear all decanted and shot through an airbrush.

Decals: Speedway Decals

Thank you John!

Thanks to you as well Martin! I really like working with that color. I normally don't use a color twice (unless it's black) but I'd consider painting another auto build in this.

Looks great - again, the stance is wonderful on your builds!

Sorry for the late response Ian. Thank you good sir. These modified builds of mine spend ALOT of time in the mock up stages.

'Preciate the good word Mike! This was a great trip down memory lane for me. I'll have to post pictures of my original build 38 years ago. I think I've got'em somewhere.
