Built this two '40 Fords 24 years apart from each other.

The first one, with the wrong white interior, and yellow licence plates, was built back in 1993 when I was 16 years old. Used a restored car as my research source, and it had a non stock interior, and dual exhaust. Also used sand paper to make more "realistic" and wrong running boards... 

Also, the model was painted with a spray can. Not Tamiya or anything of the sort. It was just a cheap black enamel used to paint household stuff, it was all I could afford. 

The second Ford I built this year, from a sedan delivery and some coupe parts I had in the parts box, a restoration, more or less, but it's all AMT '40 Ford with the exception of the tires that are cast in rubber with a resin whitewall.

This new model was also painted with enamel, but of automotive grade, and airbrushed.

Looking at them I got to conclude my skill level is more or less the same it was back in 1993. I don't know if its a good thing...

Anyway you look at it, they're both really nice so I would be happy. It just means you've been really good at building models for a long time
