'38 Custom Ford Van

[flamepainter]

Another "non-Chevy" from my collection. This is probably the most recent completed build of mine (about 3 years ago). Acrylic craft paint. I mixed in a little brown to the orange to make the darker color for some contrast. I was going for ghost flames on this one but they are not nearly as subtle as the '63 Impala. All parts out of the box, I downloaded and printed the decals on waterslide decal paper. This is one of my favorites. Thanks for looking.?

Looks like nice clean work, and the subtle flames look great.  

I've always likes this kit as a donor for other projects too, the frame in particular.

I like the sedan delivery body style and the paint looks great. Very impressive looking chassis.

Thank you all for the compliments. It means a lot to me to receive such positive comments about my models from all of you. In the short time I've been on this forum, I have seen nothing but outstanding model builds. As a member of one of a former model club in my area (Foothills Plastic Pros), I see a lot of real winners on this forum. I was a judge at many of our shows and I can tell you that if I was judging the cars I see here, I would have an extremely difficult task to find the best. I am learning a lot from all of you also. Isn't that what it's all about, never stop learning?

Great looking build. I like the subtle flames and the color is just right.

What a nice looking old school Hot Rod.  I think the ghost flames look pretty good.  That little bit of brown turned out pretty sweet looking.  Great looking build.  Thank you for your service.
