Albert Moore Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi All, Here is my just recently completed 1932 Ford 5-window coupe. It's a combination of my love for hot rods and military aviation. The body is painted Tamiya Olive Drab lacquer with a satin clear coat, while the fenders are Tamiya gloss black lacquer (both colors were decanted and then applied with an airbrush). The trunk is Model Master buffable aluminum, polished to a very shiny sheen. The decals were all sourced from Revell hot rod decal sheets and a Slixx Rat Rods goodie sheet. I cut out the cowl vent cover, added some mesh, and then made a new open vent cover from sheet styrene. The other added bit is the hood from the Stacey David '32 Ford Rat Roaster kit. Last but not least, the engine sports a Morgan Automotive Detail pre-wired distributor. The rear license plate mount and tail lights are from the parts box. Thanks for looking! Cheers, Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Moore Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thank you, Jim, Dave, and Kris! @Kris- the satin clear is Model Master Acryl semi-gloss. While we're in the kudos department, your pre-wired distributors rule! Cheers,Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Love your finishing treatment with the vintage military aviation accents. Where did you source the rivets on the trunk lid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Moore Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanks, Brad! The rivets are decals and came from the Revell 1930 Model 'A' coupe decal sheet.Cheers,Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
