Mr Stock Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 For some reason I've had this one on and off the bench for most of this year. ..no explanations as it's a really nice kit. Decided to button it up 2 weeks ago, foiled the body and mistakingly threw away the front bumper and mirrors in the trash !. Not my best modelling moment for sure lol. Always wanted to do a full size early 60s Ford in black/red, came out really nice, spray can black on the body, cheap craft acrylics for the interior. Thanks to a couple of friends helping me out with parts I was able to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Great looking Ford. The black wall tires and base hub caps along with the black paint give it a sinister look, I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoopdog Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Looks great! Excellent work on the foiling and the interior detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Very neat, clean model. Well done ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Super nice build. The only thing missing is detailing the front parking lights at the leading edge of the front fenders. Fortunately, an easy adjustment on a built kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Oh boy, that's a great looking Starliner. Black suits the car, and the red interior makes it a Red Widow (as the color combo is known here), what is extra sinister. One of my favorites, and the widest passenger automobile built by Ford. They had to reduce the body for 1961. If you ever drive one you will understand. Some garage doors can become tight in a hurry. No!! I didn't scratch it, but it was close. And it was not my car, I had just rebuilt the Autolite 4100 four barrel, and eliminated a Pertronix kit, installing the stock points and condenser back... Imagine telling the owner I would have to call Obsolete or Dennis Carpenter for a replacement trim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in 1/25 this is a big car, it literally dwarfs most other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
