'55 Bel Air and '49 Ford 1:32

[W-409]

First the Chevy. It's a snap kit from 1979. When i bought the kit it was allready complete. Underneath body was painted silver. First i dissembled it and started to build interior. Then came a little break. After that i primered the body and finished the interior. I painted the body with airbrush and paintwork is best of mine. I used Revell enamel colors first i painted red and after that white to top, above side trim and trunk. There is no wax or polishing.

It looked like this when i bought it:

Finished model:

Interior before gluing to body:

And the Ford. It's a horrible kit. I started from interior and chassis. Painted with airbrush and Revell enamel red. I did all final assembly at night before modelshow in Tampere Finland. I'm not happy about result but i can't do better boxstock from this kit...

Comments are welcome

Nice builds!!! I remember the '55 kit from when I was a kid. Question: I have heard that comment that those lindenberg kits are horrible a number of times. Is that true for most of those kits? I ask because I just picked up the 1932 Chevy pickup and I don't know what to do with it.

Well Lindberg has good kits too for example '64 Dodge 330 (ramchargers, maverick, color me gone). Then '66 Dodge L700 truck and trailer+'40 Ford is quite good. Much parts but they don't fit perfectly... Bad kits are for example '71 Mustang there is rear axle, springs, drivesaft... are molded to chassis. Interior and engine aren't good too... So i don't know what is in your box.
