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?

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..

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.

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!

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...

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).

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 .

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.
