Here's the box art:
AMT 1936 Ford Coupe, 1/43 AMT-36-Ford-Coupe
I painted it Testors Blue Angel Blue which looks pretty close to those old colors. I replaced the molded glass with flat sheet windows.
The kit was missing the metal axles but I had a piece of music wire that was the right diameter to cut new axles.

Nice Mike, didn't know there were old amt 1/43 kits.

With my Moderators hat on, can you please resize the pics to 600 x 800, it's the the largest format we can host and still see full pics!

Sadly, I think having to go through the exercise to resize photos doesn’t help old platform forums like Skids, and others. Simply taking photos with a phone and swiftly uploading them to a facebook page is without doubt an easier route - but the facebook content then becomes mainly pictures without an explanation of the build.
However, that little extra effort is usually worth it - to keep forums like this going. 😁

I don't belong to Facebook or any social media. I don't take pictures with my phone either (It's a free company phone and I can only take pictures at work and then have to transfer them to my work PC and delete them from the phone). I don't actually own my own cell phone because I don't see the need for it with a free phone. Anyway, I just have to remember that when I upload to my photo hosting site to set it to resize it smaller which I forgot. But you can click on the pictures and see them full size anyway.

I made the mistake of uploading photos directly when I first returned to the site. My mobile is an old 10+year old Nokia, like Shays, and I use my Ipad for everything including taking photos - but I have to post my images to my laptop via email to resize before sending it back to my ipad to upload and post messages.
No, Facebook doesn’t do it for me either Mike, but many groups use it as their main contact source.

Fotos are good enuf. The '36 Ford was, IMHO, the best looking one. Darn good detail on yours considering it's 1/43. Color is probably close to the original, which reminds me that many cars back then were not black only! Thanx!

The resizing is a pain in the arse I know, but that's just the way it is lads.
