I was a bit surprised here, it is a Ford, but not a '57.......how can that be? Seriously, it is very different to see a stock '32 Ford model....I can't recall seeing many of them........great build, the paint looks perfect and the wheels and tires are such a big improvement over the kit ones. Nice.

Hi,

Nice build of the Vicky! I build hot rods myself but it is nice to see a stock example built so well - after all it is important to remember what these cars started out like! Being the first to offer a V-8 for the masses, good looks and a wide range of body styles made the 1932 Ford a classic and you have captured the look very well using an old kit.

Tulio, That is one of the best AMT '32 Ford Victoria's that I've ever seen Stock or Hot Rod! That paint looks flawless, either that or you did a masterful job of hiding whatever imperfection there was; from the looks of it you had nothing to hide. It's perfect, as paint gets. With all the crowns and high spots on that body polishing had to have been fun!

I remember the first '32 Victoria that I built as a kid, the paint came out really great lacquer if I remember right. My Dad wanted to show me how to make it really shine with toothpaste rubbing compound, it burned right through the lacquer all along the belt line. I had that model for a long time, wish I still did, brings back the memory of doing something together with Dad every time I see one!

Thanks for sharing, you took something pretty simple kit wise and built an all around gem out of it. By the way, did I mention I really like this one!!

Really nice '32 Victoria. I have to say that it's really nice to see these in Stock form, too, even if I'm a Hot Rod guy... You did a very nice work with it overall, especially the golden Pinstripe on the body is a nice touch and I like the wheels too. Now this makes me want to build one of these, a Stock version...

Thank you again guys!!

Excellant work, Tulio. Sure would like to see you come up to the US with your models for an NNL (Milwaukee hint hint)

That won't happen. Can they transfer it to Russia or Cuba?
