AMT 1953 Ford Victoria

[Zippi]

This is the AMT 1953 Ford Victoria.  I changed my mind mid-stream and decided to go with a white top.  The green paint is Anita's Dew Green acrylic paint and the white top in Rust-Oleum flat white primer.  It was cleared with Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear gloss acrylic lacquer.  The interior was painted with the same Dew Green and Gloss white Anita's acrylic paint.  All the chrome trim is bmf.  Pretty much box stock except for the plug wires.  This was a great kit and it came out super nice.  WIP: *1953 Ford Victoria* - WIP: Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum

That’s one sweet build!  I think you made a good choice going to the white top.  Your attention to detail and patience has resulted in a very impressive and clean build.  Well done.  I look forward to following more of your builds.

Beautiful looking Hardtop. Nice match for the box art. I like the extra details with the spotlights and mirrors. The details on the engine and the interior really standout.

Well done. Why round2 labeled it AMT when it's a Lindberg kit is beyond me lol.

Beautiful car Bob, and the paint colour is perfect. 1953 was a good year for the Ford Victoria . . . . Well done with your build.

Beautiful job Zip!  Smooth shiny paint! Clean foiling work! Realistic engine bay! Looks even better than the pic on the box!

‘53….last year of the flat head AND the year I was born; think I might have to pick one of these up to build for sentimental reasons.

Wow Zippi, you nailed that one to a T. The white tops really works.

Thanks John for all the nice comments.  I've been waiting for HL to get more of these kits in but haven't seen them yet.  I'll be building another one.

Very nice build. Like the unexpected color, and the engine bay is especially well done.
