1948 ford custom coupe revell

[youpey]

does anyone know if this new 1948 ford custom coupe revell http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZWS5&P=W

is the same as http://u.jimdo.com/www37/o/se372970042158879/img/i62c7f4748afc5224/1309812373/orig/image.jpg except it has a coupe body?

if it is not the same, can the custom coupe be built stock or does it only have custom parts?

thank you for your help.

The coupe is chopped n dechromed...building it stock would be a major undertaking.

[youpey]

are there any revell 1948 coupe kits that are stock?

no it's the only 48 coupe they make...

(the convertible kit can be and it's very nice tho)

IMC or the Testors release of the IMC tooling. Older stuff but not hard to find.

[youpey]

thank you very much for the information. i built the convertible a couple of years ago and i like it very much. its why i wanted to build the coupe to go along with it.

i guess i will do the 40 coupe instead

I keep hoping they'll "fix" 48 coupe...

there were two nice resin coupes (long door n short door) bodies from Perry's years ago but I don't think they're still available

Here ya go lots of stock parts.

[Greg Myers]

Different kit, multi piece body out of production all with stock parts.

[Greg Myers]

Any one for a Forty One ?

[Greg Myers]

i never have luck with resin. i dont have much luck with dong anything custom. i do ok with box stock, but when i try to put my 2 cents in, i always end up ruining the whole thing

I'm currently building the Revell '48 custom coupe and so far it seems like a real nice kit. I'm using the De Soto hemi from the AMT '53 Ford PU and it's like it was made for it

[Greg Myers]

Now give us a stock height with an extra '41 front end clip.

[Greg Myers]

Just to be sure on the Testors / IMC '48's

I have AMT's 1/43 scale 1948 Ford coupe. Easy to build. And its stock.

Here's a link to an on-line preview of the Revell '48 Ford Chopped Custom Coupe I did when the kit first came out ONLINE REVIEW

This was one of my favorite kits of the last few years....not only in terms of all the building options (three grilles, fadeaway fenders or not, 2 tailamps, 2 wheel cover designs, etc.) but also because of the engine ( a terrific rodded flathead) and the dropped chassis suspension, which was so desperately needed but omitted from earlier releases of this kit (the woody and convertible). Most everything swaps easily between the three kits.

Highly, highly recommended. TIM - (photos of projects based on this kit directly below)

100% box stock kit build with fadeaway option and Cadillac grille/Cadillac Sombreros/ rear bumper guard tailamps

Kitbashed '48 Ford Woody with the Chopped Coupe suspension and drivetrain...

.

The stock convertible body can be kitbashed with the chopped coupe top..

.

The kit can also be kitbashed into a wicked Gasser....

to me, the black gasser makes it a worthy kit,
