64Comet404 Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 This is another one of my pandemic builds. As I noted in an earlier post, I have been working on models I built when I was a youngster. This Lindberg 1:32 Ford Granada holds a special place because it was the first kit I ever built, and one of the first two kits I received from my mom back in the Summer of 1977 (the other kit was the Lindberg 1:32 ‘34 Ford Tub). The originals didn’t survive for long, so I was glad to buy this one from a friend a couple of years back. Strictly out of box, painted with Testor’s Honduras Maroon lacquer, with a Tamiya AS-15 tan roof and interior. I’ve included a picture of the Granada, next to my ‘34 Tub. They’re not the nicest kits around, but it will be nice to have both of these cars completed and on display in my case.
espo Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Great looking Granada, I never knew this kit even existed .
Classicgas Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 That Granada is nice. Looks fairly accurate too. Wouldn't mind finding one.
Rob Hall Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Very nice...the Lindberg Granada was one of my first builds also...I started out w/ 1/32nd snap kits as a kid in the summer of 1975 IIRC. I think Lindberg made a Monarch also. Edited May 25, 2020 by Rob Hall
Classic Plastic Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Very clean! Super job on the vinyl top & BMF!
cobraman Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Been looking for their Cordoba for a reasonable price for awhile. No luck yet. ?
polybius Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Love it! It'd make Lee Iococca proud, too! This was one of those kits I'd wished would be issued in 1:25 but would be too obscure to be viable. At least Lindberg was willing to take a chance on it along with the Cordoba, Thunderbird, and a few other 70s era barges. You've done it justice!
NYLIBUD Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I just found the same kit a few months back at a flea market.
BlackSheep214 Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Wow. I didn't know there was a Granada kit. It looks exactly like my neighbor's car across the street from my home when I was a kid.
