kkarlsen Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Hey Guys, I had to take a break from my 'winged' builds, to work on a project that has been lurking in the back of my mind for some time. Being frustrated about the absence of 1/32 vehicles to go with 1/32 aircraft models, I got this mad idea, using one of the few models available from the last century... Monty's Humber staff car from Airfix... Trying to get it to look something like this... Work began by cutting up the kit as it is only the front and bottom that are reused for this build.. After a lot of scratchbuilding, it looked like this... Time for painting... Paintjob started with coat of gunmetal/red brown/dark grey... Hairspray (not visible) British desert yellow, tamiya wooden deck tan with highlights of Lifecolor Light Stone... For the weathering I used different oil washes + pigments... Now all I need, is to decide how much to cover and some decals to go with it...

fightersweep Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Stunning work and great finish. Love it! The old Airfix Humber is still a nice kit. Have one in the stash I want to convert into a NAAFI wagon, but this wireless truck looks superb! Best regards;Steve kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Got to say, that brilliant! I picked one of these up from one of Airfix's sales last year with the intention of modifying it but I'm still looking for inspiration. You may have just given me the nudge needed kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Boillot Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Fantastic ! Bautiful job in this conversion. I have to say I have now marked a number of Airfix 1/32 cars on my watch list on eBay fro the very same reason. Their Ford T is also a great base for conversions to vehicles of the 30s.
