Mad Max 1 Pursuit Special

[kruleworld]

This is my build of Max's Ford Falcon car from the first movie. It's a Road Warrior kit with a resin transkit alterations. the kit is the latest Aoshima release with the photoetch extras. I plan to use the left over upgrade parts to fix up my previously built Road Warrior Interceptor. The build went very well, except for the boot lid, which i had trouble with a hinge and making it fit.

Build Log:

I started with the chassis, which is weathered to reflect being a daily driven car


Dash


Supercharger



Interior
I found the interior on the new kit has been changed and doesn't fit the inner panels with the door cards (they have separate parts without the door cards). I pulled the interior from an older kit to provide those parts. repairing the rear seat and adding a new console to fix it up.


here's the new console test fitted.


and painted. note the cutout for the armrest


completed interior



Body work with interior inserted


I had massive problems with the boot hinges. I went through all my brass rod, it breaks if you unbend it. so i improvised with some styrene ones.


alignment issues with boot lid. Spare wheel only just fits.
