Lizard Racing Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I have always wanted to do a model from the year I was born. This is the 1948 version of the Galaxie Limited kit. It has very good detail and fitment. I did have some trouble getting the hood to fit right. There's a lot of chrome on this car, especially after the race cars I usually do. I think I'm getting better with the Molotow pen. Colors are MM Sublime Green and Testors Gloss Green. My research shows this isn't a factory combination, but I didn't like the original colors. I hope this looks stylish '40s. I couldn't help hot rodding the engine. The easiest way back then was add more carbs. The distributor is a pre-wired from Morgan Automotive Detail. They are plastic and come in 4, 6 or 8 cylinder.
fordf-100 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Nice! I really like the color Combo looks awesome!
Tom Louis Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Nice looking model, looks very period correct.
PARTSMARTY Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I like it-very cool and the right color combo is the one you like !!!

Anglia105E Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Very nice build you have there George..... and excellent work with the Molotow Liquid Chrome pen too. I am liking these pens, and tend to use it more than Bare Metal Foil these days, except for larger areas of chrome. Your colour combination of two-tone green works really well and I would say is right for 1940's and 1950's David
Deathgoblin Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Looks really good! These are fun kits, they almost fall together.
espo Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Very nice looking build. The colors are sure bright, but then it is a Custom and some GI might of wanted something special after he mustered out.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I really need one of those kits. If they weren't so darn hard to find here... '48 Chevy, looks almost stock, and has a hot rodded Stovebolt... I have a '48 Ford that looks almost stock, and has a hot rodded 239 V8... For pinks?

Ron Hamilton Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I like those '48's. I may do a matching set of a Ford and a Chevy built along the lines of these cars.
