32 Ford

[bluestringer]

Revell 32 Ford 5 window kit. Paint is Tamiya Titanium Silver and Tamiya Red. Floor polish clear coat. I think the combo looks pretty good. No problems with the kit except for my fumbling fingers messing up stuff. I was missing some parts from the kit, so I got some from ebay and some others from the parts box. I noticed while taking the photos I had lost one of the front nerf bars, I'll need to look for it, but probably will not find it. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Liking the color and details in the engine bay. Red wheels make it look fast.

Cool looking hot rod.

Here are my takes on Revell’s iconic deuce 3 window.

[Radretireddad]

The first one I built right out of the box with a few detail additions.

[Radretireddad]

The second one uses the flatty from the Tudor kit mated to a modern 5-speed trans with the steelies, center caps and trim rings from the 3-window kit.  The pinstripes are off of the Gopher racing sheet I got from MRU.

I built this to capture the iconic early post war socal hot rodding look which is also why I named it the Californian.

Nice, can I be a little curious and ask if you use any primer before Tamiya's acrylic colors?

Thanks. Yes I use Mr. Hobby Surfacer 1000, buy it at Hobby Lobby. I thin the Tamiya Acrylic with generic lacquer thinner.

Got looking Hot Rod James.  That nerf bar will show up when you least expect it.

Love the color scheme.  Looks like a hot rod.

Great looking paint color and finish, the flames add to the look as well. Like how you detailed the chassis and interior. The open painted wheels look good here.

Awesome hot rod there James, well done!

Radretireddad.............those are some good looking builds. And don't take this wrong, but you should start your own thread for your builds, you will get more looks and comments that way as it will not get confused with the other builds.

Will do thanks. I thought the threads were meant for specific cars and not just individual builders work. Nice work on your 3-window too. I have that same kit in my upcoming projects que.
