Description
Hi Guys - here pictures of the latest finished project. This is an early issue of the 1/12 AMT 1937 Supercharged Phaeton. The build is very much box stock with the exception of some engine parts where I've used alloy tubing to replace the plastic cooling pipes. The poseable steering, via a series of idler arms and drag links is quite complicated to set up and was, I believe, dropped in later versions of the kit. This kit also had hinged doors and wind up windows - unfortunately this gave it glass that was 6 inch scale thickness so I used a bit of artistic licence, did away with the winding mechanism, and as they wouldn't stay closed, glued the doors shut. Otherwise it is OOB
