Andrew McD Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 This is the Revell Special Edition '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe 2'n 1. The paint is Tamiya TS-11 Maroon clear coated with Tamiya TS-13 Clear. My spray painting skills are still a rough work in progress! I find I tend to get too wet with my wet coats plus I need to take better care to eliminate dust. Lessons learned. This kit has LOTS of chrome. To my mind an excess of chrome, for example chrome plated disc brakes???? I stripped lots of the chrome parts and painted them with various Tamiya acrylics. The front suspension was rather fussy to assemble but with a lot of pre-assembly I sorted it out. Overall a satisfying build and most of all, fun. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Everyone is their own worst critic, because we all want perfection. I love the color choice, and I think it's a beautiful build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Great looking build. Great color. Each model we build is a teaching lesson for the next one. 50 years later I'm still learning and I love every minute of it. (Well, most of the time). Your build turned out really nice.

espo Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Great looking little '32 five window. Like the way you detailed the engine and chassis. By changing the finishes from all that chrome, they now look far more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Your Deuce Coupe illustrates what a good looking model can be built directly from the box and enhanced with some personal touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
