Jimmy Florian 1950 Ford

[MarkJ]

Kits: Amt 1949 Ford coupe and Amt 1950 Ford convertible.

 

Paint: Model Master Gloss white, black, Italian red and brass acryl shot through an air brush.

 

Decals: My own ink jet printed on clear sheets.

 

This model depicts the car that won the first Nascar race for Ford in the top division of Nascar which is now known as Monster Energy. The race was in Dayton Ohio and the distance was 100 miles. The model took 51 hours to complete 7 of which were for creating and printing the decals.

Here is the real car.

Great job Mark!

This is so cool!  Hits many buttons for me, Dayton is my hometown (didn't know there were NASCAR races there!) and my father's first car was a '49 Ford 

Another outstanding build from your bench Mark.

Great looking model. I love old stock-cars when they were still pretty much "stock".

That looks absolutely Great Mark. I did Artwork for these decals about 5 years ago and I have been thinking about making it available again but I think if I do I will add the tlight housing bulge and the headlight masking tape decals as well. Maybe deck lid emblem and a couple of dash decals as well.. Ummmm I wonder if it would sell?

I guess it just depends if they want to go to the trouble of making it into a 50 ford like I did or just use the 49 ford and decal it like the 50 and hope nobody notices.

Here is what's left of the decals I made for this build.
