Aeroteto Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hi all I see a 53 Ford Victoria from Lindberg at my LHS, not very expensive so muy question is it`s worth to buy it and build it? Or better buy the 70 Chevelle next to it?
bigphoto Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Buy the Ford!!! Go Ford!!! Oh it is ultimately your decision though do you want a muscle car or a classic?
pharoah Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I've never really been a Ford guy,but get the Vicky. It's a nice kit.
DrGlueblob Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 That is one of Lindberg's better kits, fun to build. I have several.
Joker Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I've never shown this one.(old build) It builds into a nice Kustom and the engine is crisp. oh yeah...I was trying out scallop paint work..liked the pattern but not the finish. Paint polishing ? Meh..
my80malibu Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I have never built one. I have a few of them. I have seen them looking killer, when they are built. I have not heard anything bad, or what difficulties the kit has.
Joe Handley Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Only thing I can think that's bad about those kits is that we don't have one at work or that I could afford it right now if we did! Edited February 19, 2014 by Joe Handley
slusher Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I have never owned that kit but have seen some nice ones fellow builders have done..
charlie8575 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Beautiful kit. Mine (first issue) had some of the best molding quality I've run across. Overall level of detail, etc. is on-par with late 1990s AMT kits, very accurate from the looks of it, very nicely done. I need about another half-dozen for all the resin I want to build...

Kit Basher Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The Ford is a nice kit, cleanly molded and well detailed. It fits together well and gives a good result.
ZTony8 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 If the Chevelle is the Monogram/Revell kit,skip it.If it's the AMT version it's much better.The Ford's a good kit(and I'm a GM favoring guy).
Aeroteto Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Thank's guys! I have more clear now.

1972coronet Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 1953 is signifigant in the realm of automotive history regarding Ford , as that was the last year for their L-Head ("Flat Head") engine , at least in their V8 line . So , at a minimum , it is an interesting topic historically , assuming that you are going to build it in factory-stock guise . If not , it is still a really nice design to work with .
Aeroteto Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 I get the Ford kit, and is a very nice kit, thank's a lot guys, I'll build it stock in a mint green/white combo paint scheme.
DumpyDan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Ya ya Vicky is the way to go, I built it and like it.
