Go Fleiter Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 (edited) "good" means: not a stamped sheet metal one or a soap box gift style. Friends of mine could scan this within 1:24 or 1:18 scales and scale it down to 1:87 and 3-D- print it for my model Railraod. That would undoubtedly produce a better model than my attempt below. I had posted this helpless model before, but can't find the post again. I made a 1:87 scale "VEREM Chevy 4dr" to look close to my 51 Plymouth convertible. The VEREM model: a Dodge (much worse quality compared to the Opel left), not used for the Plymouth transformation: my 1:87 sculptured result, well I would like to have a closer copy of the original! Only the Coke coolbox (passive, for ice cubes to do cooling) looks near its prototype. Greetings from Düsseldorf! Go Edited August 19 by Go Fleiter 1 Quote
andyd Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 Dunno if this is any help but there has been a 1950 Plymouth 2 dr sedan available in urethane resin.....its 1/24th scale.........andyd Quote
Go Fleiter Posted August 20 Author Report Posted August 20 Thanks all for reading and answers! It seems that I have to stay with my 1/87 bastard model! Greetings from Düsseldorf! Go Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 A model of the 51/52 would be moderately received I am thinking and only become a reality if someone in the business of scale model manufacturing stumbled upon the fact a close family member had one back in the day and then likely would have to be the convertible or the Cranbrook Belvedere then maybe commission a short run of the model of the now more popular and desirable real life car. I suspect this may not come to pass. Quote
andyd Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Just found the resin 1/24-25th 1950 Plymouth 2dr.....it was made by R & R in 1993/4.....its a nicely done resin body shell, separate frame, interior tub, dash, seat vacu formed clear window piece & chromed grille & front/rear bumpers.....hood is molded shut, no engine as such tho' the one from AMT's 41 Plymouth would work, also no wheels or tyres are included.......I don't think R & R are still in business but checking on US Ebay, and various on line model companies may be worthwhile........regards, andyd Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 21 Report Posted August 21 Hey Andy, this forum has more it fair share of incomplete cars now......😁 come to think of it...might be right at home with no wheels, tires or engine. Quote
andyd Posted August 21 Report Posted August 21 Plymouthy.......I've got more than a few unfinished model kits.....probably about 150 cars & 150 aircraft kits.........all are in various states of in/completeness....lol.....main thing as far as I'm concerned is whether its in 1/25th or 1:1 scale is to keep plodding along with it........heres a pic of my Tower of Empty Model Kit Boxes....this was taken over 2 years ago, I started building the Tower in March 2020, its now 5 wide and the ceiling high...........keeps me amused or not....lol.......Andy Douglas Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 21 Report Posted August 21 I've built a model or two in my youth....and I admit to a few miniatures of a few cars I do own in full size. Am sure everyone here has a few build models under their belt or collected a scale model of a car they have either owned in the past or currently own now. That is a stack of boxes for sure. Quote
Go Fleiter Posted August 21 Author Report Posted August 21 I agree: if beeing in the miniature car business, I wouldn´t consider to offer a 1951 or 52 Plymouth model. For my 1:87 model, it was the front which gave me some headache! Quote
Jim Neville Posted August 21 Report Posted August 21 I have a red 1950 Chrysler Windsor. I would love a model like the one in the picture. Anyone know were I could purchase one? Quote
