happy grumpy Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Another ford 53, I wanted to re create a model that a neighbor had back in the 60's. I tried to reproduce the color as I remembered it. I took a picture as reference. Not quite exact but that's the closest I could get with the colors I had. Tamiya acrylics for the body, TS 7 racing white for the top. I like those colors from the 50's. I have a soft spot for the 50's and 60's styling. thanks for looking and commenting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 What is the outside color? It looks perfect for that era as though it were a stock paint choice in 1953. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I have one of those to build. My dad had a 54 convertible that has a number stories associated with it. (Including a scar it gave me that took 20 years to fade away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer1984 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Very nice! The color looks perfectly suited to the lines of the Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Beautiful looking showroom style build. The paint looks great, and the color looks much as I recall. This was a time when the companies started offering some bright colors on the new cars and this was a popular combination at the time.
