Monogram 1931 Packard Phaeton dual cowl diecast\ plastic kit

That is some engine! Straight 8 I presume? WOW! (Packards were known for the straight 8....Same with Buick I think it was too!)

NICE, I'll be watching as things "happen" on this kit!

NICE work man! That is a straight 8......What a motor those are/were.....

NICE job so far, looks great as a "used" car, not a show piece as a lot of us make them!

excellent start

Hi all here is tonights episode.
I drilled out the distributor so I could put the HT leads in.

then I made the HT leads out of thin solder wire.


Then I cut them to length and squished the ends to make the tabs to connect them to the spark plugs.


Then I noticed from the ref photos I have that there are rivets and badges on the starter motor and solinoid so I added them.

still loads of detail to add to the engine bay, got an idea for making the jubilie clips for the radiator hoses and I am going to attempt to make the fuel pump and assossiated pipes as they are only vaugley moulded into the firewall.

Some great detail work her VERY nice

It's a 1/24 scale kit

nicely done KP

Great work there mate, i like these old classic looking cars, only i have to hot-rod them myself.

Hi all Well I've got the under coat and the first top coat on the Packard now.

Here is todays progress on the Packard

Saweeeeet ole ride...

Excellent job .. Detailing is beautiful..Keep up the Great work...

Here is todays bit on the packard. the fuel pump and filter are not included with the kit so I decided to have a go at making them.










and I had a go at making the seats look like old cracked leather(quite unsuccessfully) any suggestions ?

Damn thats a lotta motor.....LOL NICE work, LOVE the color choices too! The whole garage scene looks GREAT too!

Hi all here is todays hard graft.
