Revell 1/25th '32 Ford 3-window coupe

[Justin Porter]

This kit has been on my shelf for a little bit of time with the overhanging worry of "What do I do with it?" Why the worry? Well, Revell's recent reticence when it comes to their street rod kits has left the evergreen 3 window version of their Deuce missing in action while the 5 window is in production. But I wanted something fun and straight forward to build, and I decided just building a mildly detailed version of the out of the box kit would be fun enough. Marking out the mold lines shows that time and popularity haven't been too kind to the 3 window, but it's nothing a good Flex-i-File session or three can't fix. Drilling the heads for ignition wires was a breeze, while the hole for the Gofer distributor took more aggressive methods. Mr Color C34 Sky Blue and AK Interactive Real Color 020 Aluminum give a good base color for the engine and transmission and both airbrush like a dream.

Your 32 coupe has a good start.

Engine is all dressed up and ready for its permanent home. All the mold lines were addressed on the body and especially at the base of the pillars they were fairly ugly. I'm also having to break out the fiberglass pencil to deal with the ejector pin marks on the floorboards of the frame.

More progress has been made. I still have the full interior to address, but we now have a fully dressed chassis and the body in full color. Wheel centers were painted in with Vallejo Metal Color Magnesium.
