The parade cars or festival cars are part of the pre-race festivities, often featuring celebrities or special guests. They may be replicas of the official pace car or other models chosen for the parade. They may also be used to transport drivers and other VIPs in the parade. The pace car is the sole car leading the field on the final pace lap before the green flag.

Thanks for the clarification. I'd completely forgotten about the "driver parades." Makes sense.

I see the same nice interior like on your other Pacecar Replica 😉 Like it too. Did you paint this or wsa it already silver? My guess: no. You did the paintjob.
8 May, 04:52

Christian W. The interior was spray painted with Tamiya TS-81 Light Royal Gray the seat inserts and door panels were masked and then it was painted with Tamiya TS-04 German Gray. All parts of the car were painted.

Christian W you are correct about the bumper and headlight. I did try to paint the bumper attached and then tried to make the headlights work installing them from the front. I definitely realized my error when photographing the model. From my limited research blue was an option to the red for the anniversary edition. My theory is that if you want a model to turn out right you probably have to build two of them. The first one to figure it out and understand the meaning of the directions and the second one to do it right!

Very well described. I got this experience somehow with my built too (2002 Camaro SS | Project by christian-w (1:25)). On this I learned to read the instructions more careful than usual. Lesson learned.
Yours looks great in that nice bluemetallic. They decals fitting very good even better than of the red known example.

Tamiya TS-23 Light Blue and TS-26 Pure White - not authentic for that car but what I had available. Thank you Viller de Vos, Bill Newcomer, George Williams, Istv'an Szucs and Martin Oostrom. Bill I liked your story of you and your brother playing smash up.

Thank you Villiers de Vos, Neuling and Martin Oostrom. I would have preferred not to have the lights on top of the car for a detective car but the roof already had the holes.

Thanks Tim Hofstetter. I have built at least 9 vehicles from 1929. My mom was born 7/16/29 and I tried to picture what life was like when she was born. I find the older cars give us a special insight into the past.
2 25 March, 14:05

That's right around the same time mine was born. I'm trying to find a model of a milk truck from that era; one served as her school bus. 😎

While not generally a Ford fan, I did really like this model. It still looks good 8 years after I built it, too. Thank you Tim Hofstetter, Rui S, Bob Hall, Dave, Neuling and Istvan Szucs.

Thank you Mark K. I found the model very detailed with many small parts. Some of my alignment was a bit off but I felt a sense of relief when the model was completed. It was a somewhat unusual model that our IPMS chapter president was selling and I thought it was worth a go.

Nice project,
I found the kit at an antique fair. Thinking about building it.
Did you have any problems building it?
28 January, 12:11

Ho Ko working with metal kits always brings their own issues. Hubley and JLE Scale Models have a lot of flash and I found a small 3" metal nail file worked really well cleaning the parts up and then I soaked them in vinegar which helps the primer bond to the metal. I was encouraged by a model railroad friend to build these cars and I had a lot of fun doing them.
30 January, 13:47

Hi Curtis,
Thank you for your answer and for the tips
I hope to find the time in the next few weeks and make the first building steps.

I love these old AC Mack's. There's some history in the story behind them. That chain drive looks menacing in real life though!

Ben M thank you. The Atlantis models have been fun to build, simple and inexpensive. My only complaint is the scale sizes. I built according to directions which advised to not paint the outer skin of the aircraft and I do find it has a pleasing appearance.

Thank you Rui S and Martin Oostrom. Y'all need to check out my '55 Chevy Bel Air Street Rod. Building the AMT was quite a bit different compared to the Revell. The '55 is a good looking car and I am glad to see people interested in these models.
28 December 2024, 00:40

I have that kit. I like the red and white color combo. I think there was red/white 55 Chevy in one of the Back to the Future movies.

Thanks Kyle DeHart. Denis Dogadov and 5 others had commented previously and it felt good to take some advice and make the model and the photography a bit better.
