Recently I bought a 914 barn find scale model. It's based on the well known yellow Revell 1/18. Yesterday I received the parcel - and what can I say: I like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have never seen a model of the 914 in its natural state. Nice find (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) very cool , better to have the model than th real thing.
last pic it was 2 years old.

BTW under the blue tarp (seen in 2nd pic) is a 1952 MGTD, it ran 30 years ago.

Amazingly (and atypically) all the tires are round... A bit of time with a hot plate or emery board (depending on material) should take some 'round' off the bottom...

But it doesn't look like any longitudinal sag, so - good find !

I've got a 1/18 diorama 'in work' now but it's not ready for show yet.
Soon...

Seriously, that is one cool model! Nice job!!

Agreed.

Needs at least 1 jackstand.

Paint 2 of the wheel studs on a rear wheel black - ie, missing/cross-threaded, etc. Then jack that side.

Also add some grayish shredded paper lumps to the right of the fuel tank.

That's where my little "MICE" had made their bed after chewing through enough heater and air venting tubes!

I've thought about that.
I don't think so.

Milk crate or cinder blocks, yes...
