42 Ford 4 Door

[Porscheman]

This started as a 1:48 Tamiya 42 army staff car. I painted it Testor Honduras Maroon Lacquer with wet look clear top coat. All chrome was done with BMF and a lot of patience. The interior was painted Tamiya's grey primer. Very nice, hard to find little kit.

Thanks for looking.

nice. lots of courage getting the chrome trim on it.

i had to rescale the model railroad from 1/48 to 1/35 because i just couldn't see it anymore.

Thanks guys. I used to build strickly 1:43, now the eyes can only do 1:25 and larger.

Great looking little car Al. I did one of these about 2 years ago. It was a fun "little" side project.

looks good. extra points for such a small scale car.

That's very cool! I thought of doing something similar with one of those kits.

Funny, for some reason I was under the impression it was 1:35 scale.

That is awesome. I was sceptical at first. Tamiya doesn't build models of the cars I like, but then I recognized the military kit. The tiny size only makes the craftsmanship involved into this build even more awesome.

If Tamiya started building Fords Chevrolets and Chryslers of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s I would become a a die hard buyer of their kits, and not only of their excellent paints.
