Got this kit for my birthday from a friend. She knew I'm into Fords, and that I love the "fat fendered" ones, so she bought Revell's '48 Ford Custom Coupe. Of couse I didn't tell her I hate butchered cars. Since the kit was not cheap, and being a A-Hole and complaining could had prevented the nice amount of fun we had latter... If you know what I mean. Anyways, I decided to actually build the kit. I was almost painting it black, but then I found some left over Mandarin Maroon from my '40 Ford hot rod. Added a bit more black, just to change the tone a bit, and painted the body with it. No fancy candy or metallic, just plain enamel. Still thinking If i'm gonna install some hubcaps or not. The only body mod I did was to recreate the hood centerpiece, as I really disliked the flat hood. Painted the glasspacks black to replicate JK style mufflers by Kadron, and painted the interior in two ton primer white, and custom mixed maroon metallic acrylic. Have to give the model a final clean up, to eliminate the wax on the shut lines, and clean some digitals on the chrome, and to the display case she goes. Time to work on a '53 Vicky. 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Custom Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr
