AMT 32 Ford Phaeton

[Yeah Nah]

The interior 'tub' was an atrocious fit and took some cutting, adding plastic, re-arranging and general fiddling about but got there in the end to produce a model that I'm pretty pleased with.

Thanks for looking!

If the interior tub was way short, you probably got one that had the Vickie interior tub.

They produced a bunch that way but would send you the correct one - back when.

Nicely done.

Thanks Brian. That explains a lot.

Very well done.

Great looking '32. Like the subdued looking colors and the well detailed body lines.   

[Roger U]

Very nicely built and detailed.

Surprised to see a stock build. Was expecting a hotrod. Very nice.

[happy grumpy]

Nice to see one of these build stock. Great color choice. Great clean build.

I'm liking the subdued color combo - looks very period correct. I'm also going to need to pull my AMT out of mothballs and break the seal to see if I have the correct tub...

Don't often see this built factory stock and yours is really very well done. Hard to believe that top is plastic, it looks so real. Nice and clean very good detailing.

I'm with Mario on this one.  Nice to see a stock bulld of this one.  They were the cat's meow back in the day.  Nicely done.

Gorgeous Phaeton!

[Flatout]

Nice work on an old classic kit…the color combo is perfect.

[James2]

What a nice clean build! Fit and finish spot on and the colors work perfectly, well done.

[ChrisR]

VERY NICE!!

[carrucha]

Nice build.  The black and gray look good on this build.

[Erock]

That came out great! I'm working on the same kit as we speak, but doing it as the hot rod version ?

That's a beautiful build of a pretty average kit!  I found out about the Vicky interior many years ago while teaching high school kids how to build models. This kid comes up to my desk and says something to the effect of "This thing sucks, the dumb thing doesn't fit , its not my fault yadda, yadda, yadda."

In my most professional and compassionate tones I re-assured him that , "Of course it fits, we'll just fit it up towards the firewall - wait a minute, we'll move it towards the back a touch, hang on, maybe if I just, just, just, ahh, this thing sucks, the dumb thing doesn't fit, it's not my fault........"   LOL!

Long story short, I had a spare correct interior at home, I swapped it with the kid's Vicky interior and we all lived happily ever after!!!

Cheers

Thanks Alan. Like your student, I myself thought ''this thing sucks'' but just put it down to AMT-itis. I wasn't aware of the Vicky interior tub history of this kit until Brian pointed it out in an earlier post.

Beautiful job on this, probably the cleanest build of it I've seen!

[Dave42]

Very nicely done. Love the colors too.
