1901 Packard (Gowland & Gowland (c) 1951

Post by LyleW »

Well, chaps, this one is older than me. Hard to believe. Only about 25 or so parts, including Igor the driver. Not sure he is coming along on this one. I started this a quick filler whilst things dry and set up on the Huey. I also started an old Revell A-5 Vigilante with about the same number of parts. That was going well until i lost t he assembled fuselage. Yep. No idea where it went. I'll check the bin later to see if it is in there. Suchis my scale modeling life.
Anyway, here is the little bitty Packard so far.

Man that's some ugly looking plastic. Can't wait to see the build.

That probably will not help.

The whole fuselage? Christ you've got one hell of a hungry carpet monster Lyle!

Cool little subject.

I know, I know. I dropped something which bumped something, which…well you can fill in the blanks. I heard it move and come to rest. Or so I thought. It has to be in the room. That’s unusual even for me.

Hey—Did you finish this project elsewhere? I came a looking for details. These are some kits I want to try out. Maybe it’s the case of a photo finish?? Anyway I am high as a kite on various meds and just semi scorched my face with ye olde “steam your face with hot water” gag, so maybe I missed page two.

Mope. this is the thread. Very low parts count. It is an old Revell Pioneer Series kit.

And to think the Roden Type B Pigeon Bus I built was tiny. This one cuts the cake.. :wow:
