Post by: cduckworth on March 01, 2025, 09:04:45 AM

Just joined this morning; here's a kit bash were I'm using the Walthers Al's Victory station and modifying into a Texaco version. Homemade decals, Evergreen styrene used for the three green bands and the roof over the pump island. Still adding an interior as the station sits close to the facia on the layout

Welcome to the forum Charlie. Really nice work work modifying the kit.
I think we all like a nice period gas station.
Looking forward to seeing the completed scene.
