You're gonna want one...new '32 roadster model

Revell-Monogram Big Deuce re-issue 1/8 scale flathead!

 

It's a re-issue of the old "Big Duece" kit, only this one includes several options. Two motors, can be built full-fendered or as a highboy. Mags or steel wheels with either 40's Ford caps & rings or spun discs. It's pricey, usually runs 80 to 100 dollars. I got mine at the Hobby Lobby here in town. They run 1/2 off model kit sales every once in awhile, I waited till then and got mine for 40.00.

 

Ha! They even have a "rad rod version".

 

They still haven't made it down to Australia, not that I've seen anyway. I've already put an order in for one.

Sure looks cool. Problem is going to be how to build it. Might have to get two or three of them.

1. Gloss black with black wheels and blackwalls. Flathead powered Highboy.

2. Copper or dark metallic blue fully fendered ala Neal East roadster.

3. Spare.

 

Brootal, I seen one at "Hearn's Hobbies", on Flinders Street here in melbourne. Didn't see a price tag and didn't really wanna ask! If you like, i could try and get some more info on it?

 

Ah finally I saw this car on a model website about a year ago and I have been loosely looking for it since then. Actually Ebay has a couple versions of the kit right now.

Boris, you should get out more I have had my 2 for over a month. Got them from Andy Douglas at Scale Automobilia , in Grafton. It is good to have an old favorite back. The new parts are quite neat and the have even included the custom grille insert from the original issue. Geoff

check out Big Scale Modelers for tons of pics of 1/8th scale cars.

I've got a 70's issue, but i'm really looking forward to getting the new one with the steel wheels and flatty. Great model, great detail.

 

Ive got one of these and Im going to start on it here pretty soon.Ive seen Duvall WS frames and Ardun heads for these.Anybody know where I can find these parts?

 

Never did see a "Big Duece" kit altho I have seen a "BIG DEUCE" kit.
