happy grumpy Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 A beautiful kit from Lindberg. Not sure if this color was ever offered but one of my uncles had a 49 ford with a color close to that. Anyway I am happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) That looks super sweet Mario. Fantastic job and the color looks nice. I have an AMT 53 with the body painted in a light green for a winter project. Edited October 26, 2021 by Zippi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Thanks Zippi, Let me know how the AMT /Lindberg is different. Did round 2 made any significant additions to the kit or is it essentially the same ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 That's a beautiful color Bob. Back then, they weren't afraid to use bright colors, a far cry from black, white and any shade of gray in between we see these days. However, some manufacturers seem to introduce those crazy colors back recently. Personally I like those crazy colors from the 50's. It looks close to the green of the coca cola AMT kit. I like it. Looking forward to see the end result. Be well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) A gorgeous Ford! The color looks right for the era, and your paintwork looks fantastic. David G. Edited October 26, 2021 by David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Thank guys, Zippi, and for those who are wondering what color I used. When I need a custom color, I usually eyeball it. For this , I used a mix of Tamiya acrylics orange white red and brown. i don't remember the ratios though. I only use flat acrylics as they offer better coverage. Light sanded and 4 coats of Tamiya TS 13 clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Beautiful looking paint and I like the color. Ford did offer a color very close to this. I like the clean chrome trim also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Very well done. The Lindberg and AMT kit are identical. For some unknown reason Round 2 put the kit under the AMT banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
