dark gray 1950s car - 60408 MOD - front
In early May 2024 I reverse engineered what I could of the 1950's 'lead sled' in then-upcoming summer 2024 set 60408 - Car Transporter. I didn't have pictures of the rear (and obviously instructions were also a no-go at the time), so improvised as best I could using what I thought looked reasonable for a fifties car. I managed to get 99% of the car built from one picture. Although admittedly, I stole the taillights design from this old Hachiroku24 moc: www.flickr.com/photos/hachiroku24/33759847112/in/dateposted/
Here we see my fourth color variation of that car, this time in dark bluish gray - although I really wanted to build it in blue. (Alas, that's not possible yet) A lot of parts are missing in the digital file, but this will be fixed when I build the car in real life.
