Thanks guys! I have heard nothing but good about this kit...actually the first issue kit and from what I have been seeing, this re-issue as well. I would have loved to have had the Buick Nailhead engine, but the supercharged Chevy will do.

The Story

On a rainy Monday morning, McNally had stopped at a convenience store for a newspaper and a couple of chicken breasts to marinate for supper. At home, he marinates the chicken with Italian dressing and some spices and places the container in the fridge. The doorbell rings and he answers the door to Paul Resnick who wants to hire him to find his stolen trophy. It's a very inexpensive trophy, why not buy another one and be happy with that?

Paul wants the original trophy found and returned to him as soon as possible so he can show it off to others who view his car. McNally will search for the missing trophy for Paul Resnick at his usual rate of $200 a day.

The Build

Paint was flying this afternoon. The body and floor bottom got a couple coats of Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red and the frame and rear axle got a couple coats of Tamiya TS-85 Pure Red. The small block Chevy engine got a couple coats of Model Master Huggar Orange which is close to Chevy Engine Red.

McNally will return...

Thanks DUSTER! I have decided on a metallic red body, white firewall, red interior with a white seat insert, red frame and suspension and red wheels with whitewall tires. The engine may be Chevy Engine Red.

The Build

This is my new build, Revell's '29 Ford Model A Roadster and it features a McNally, Boston PI story called My Missing Trophy. The model will be painted with Tamiya Metallic Red body with Tamiya Pure Red wheels and frame, whitewall tires with steelies and hub caps with trim rings.

The Story

My Missing Trophy. The Back Bay Burger Joint has a weekly car show and McNally likes to attend when he can. Everyone who attends gets a ballot to pick the best in show award and those who bring a car in gets a ticket for the raffle which consists of 2 travel coffee mugs with the Back Bay Burger Joint logo or 3 free burger cards. The winner for that Saturday night was Paul Resnick and his '29 Ford Model A Roadster and he places his trophy on the floor of his hot rod and he goes inside the restaurant to use the restroom. When he comes out, he finds that his trophy was stolen. On Monday morning, he hires McNally, Boston PI to find his trophy.
