1932 Phantom Phaeton

My model club's latest theme night is to build a convertible not available as a kit or one that wasn't manufactured in 1:1.

This is my entry, a 1932 Ford two door convertible, created by removing the roof from a Revell Tudor sedan. Front suspension is from the AMT '32 Vicky, wheels from the new Rat Roaster kit, paint from a Tamiya spray can.

That looks very sharp so far. Love the wheel choice. May l ask what you painted the wheels with? looks very realistic..

Hi Carl

Thanks for that, I painted the wheels with Warhammer (Games Workshop) paint, used to be called Boltgun Metal, water based and goes on nice n' easy.

Thanks Paul, looking forward to more of your build.

This should be a very nice car! Please keep us posted?

[Chris White]

can I have some more please!!

Thanks for the comments guys. I actually finished this kit but never got round to posting it .

Not entirely happy with the fit of the body over the chassis but still looks good on the shelf. MCG photoetch parts were added (grill - a must have on these kits IMO, dash gauge and rear taillights) and a windshield cut from some clear packaging plastic.

Thanks for looking.

That is sick Paul!

Very nice model!

Is the front suspension from the pre-painted Customshop version of the Vicky? I've been looking for a front suspension set up like that for a couple of builds.

Thanks!

Thanks Ryan

I used the regular unpainted version, but I presume the pre-painted kit comes with the same set-up - perhaps someone else can confirm?
