Ford Anglia 1964

[Tumbe]

My friend has a Ford Anglia. About a year ago he had his 50th anniversary so I decided to built a model of his very own car.

I started with Air-Trax resin kit. Because my friend has a Anglia standard, I shaved all chrome trim from sidepanels and created a new grill from Evergreen plastic.

I painted the body with airbrush and used Humbrol enamel paint which I polished and waxed.

Interior is also painted with Humbrol colours.

Wheels and tires I painted with Tamiya spray colours.

Hubcaps and bumpers I painted with Alclad2.

Anglia ready for road!

My modelling buddy helped with register plates, national sign (SF=Suomi-Finland) and a decal for front emblem.

My friend has on his Anglia's rear window a sticker which says "A brand new Ford Anglia 1964". So I made a sign with same words (in Finnish).

Very nicely done! Great work on the grille transformation. My wife had one just like it in New Zealand.

Lovely model Tuomas. I have been wanting to build one of these for a little while now.

Are the first two pictures the original resin finish or did you do some work on it by that stage?

[Tumbe]

Thanks everybody

Sonny, the body is painted with Tamiya white primer in first two pictures.

I think your friend is gonna get his best gift from you

That came out beautiful!!! Always thought these little cars were neat. There is one sitting in a local vintage car salvage yard here in Florida. Don't see too many of them in the states.

That is cool. My dad had a brand new '61. Looks like I have to get myself this kit.

[mademan]

[Gluhead]

Very nice.

Looks very good! Paint job and details looks very nice. Anglia could be very good starting point to do pro street, hmmm...

[Foxer]

I love it! So nice to see one of these built up and a very nice build it is!

Really nice. Cool and unusual model - I appreciate the post.

Great job,has that nice simplistic car vibe to it,It's nice to see something that isn't painted a HOK color (I do like HOK,I just have a broad horizon).Looks great.

I love oddball subjects like this! Nice build!!

Once in a blue moon, I saw these when I was a kid here in the states. I had no idea what they were until years later, and was surprised that it was a Ford. Of British descent of course!

I have one of Airtrax's Volvo P1800 kits------very nicely done with just a little cleanup that will be needed. They're a bit pricey due to our Dollar vs. the Euro, but well worth it for subject matter you just can't get anywhere else!
