Pyro Model T
« on: January 21, 2013, 07:28:09 PM »
Hi all,
This is a quick conversion I carried out leading up to the construction of the WnW Snipe diorama I have in mind.....
It is the Pyro kit (same kit as Des is using to build his Hucks starter.)
I really haven't done that much in the way of detailing - just some ignition leads in the engine bay and a bit of work in the 'cockpit' that you can't see anyway.

Thanks to Des for pointing us in the direction of these old kits.

I have the Renault town car still to do - but that is some time away yet.

That looks very nice Paul, you have done a great job with what is a very basic kit, I just hope mine turns out half as good.

For anyone wishing to find an old 1:32 scale car kit try looking here;   http://members.ziggo.nl/dwijsman/

Gorgeous, Paul!  I love the oil stains in the bed.  Will the truck be delivering a rotary engine?
Cheers,
Bud

Hey Bud,
You know I pictured a Rotary in the back of the truck too! Great minds think alike......
Steve - I figure if I talk about the snipe enough it will materialise

Thanks all - If only Airfix would re-release their ww1 vintage bus....
