AMT 1/32 '32 Ford Coupe

[unclescott58]

Just finished her this evening. AMT's 1/32 Scale, "Scale Stars," '32 Ford V-8 Coupe. A fun kit. Nice and easy to build. Details are good for the scale and time when AMT originally tooled up this kit back in the mid-60's. Painted with Tamiya paints. And yes, I know I did not paint the center of roof black like I should. That was a conscious decision on my part. I like the way it looks with the top blue. The wheels are painted blue, though it is tuff to see. Plus I painted the rear inner fender wells on the body black. The blue stood out too much in that area for me. 

I like that this portrays a three-window coupe, rather than the same five-window as AMT's 1/25 scale version. The roofline looks a little odd. But for some reason, I notice it less after the car was painted. Overall I'm pleased with this one. Like I am of the kits I've built so far in AMT's reissued "Scale Star" series. They're all nice kits, that look pretty nice when they're done.

Nicely Done!

That looks like a good shade of blue for the time period.

Again, thank you. And I agree. The color does work well on that car.

I didn't know this kit even existed, but it looks like it was well designed.  Nice assembly work on your part, and as others have said, great color choice and application.  Speaking of that, would you mind sharing which specific Tamiya paint you used?  They have a couple acrylic blues and several in their lacquer line.

Thank you. It is a nice kit. The Tamiya paint? TS-15 Blue spray paint.

Thank you. And are you talking about AMT's 1/32 Vette? If so, I can tell it builds out beautifully. As hopefully you can see from the pictures below. In fact, all of AMT's 1/32 "Scale Star" kit build up very nicely. As you can see, I've build whole series so far. I'm now waiting for them to reissue the '40 Ford Tudor Sedan.

Thank you. I think so too. They're are fun and simple kits. I enjoy building them. Like I say, I'm hoping Round 2 releases the last 2 in the series. Especially the '40 Ford.
