Hey everybody, here's my version of the Revell '32 Ford 5 Window Coupe. The paint is Tamiya X-32 Titanium Silver thinned and airbrushed. I used Lazy Modeller flame masks, and airbrushed them in Createx Pearl Blue and Delta Ceramcoat Navy Metallic. I cleared with Createx UVLS 4053 High Gloss, and gave it the wet-sand, polish, and wax treatment. The interior is body color and Folkart Blue Sapphire with embossing powder painted in Apple Barrel Admiral Blue for the carpet. I also used the Admiral Blue for the roof top. I painted the kit wheels with Anita's Galvanized Tin and sprayed a couple of coats of Creratex Matte Clear on them, while the Iceman Collections BF Goodrich Street Meat tires ( 15x8 front, 15x10 rear ) were painted with Stynylrez black primer and cleared with Createx Satin Clear. I added plug wires and a machined aluminum coil from Off The Sprue to the kit engine, and cut a couple of pieces of 1/8" aluminum tubing for the exhaust tips. This was a nice, fun kit to build and I'm super happy with how it turned out. You can see a couple of progress videos on my YouTube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop. As always, thanks for looking!! Oh, and the last pic is with my Revell '29 Ford Roadster.

Oh yeah Graig.  Super kewl looking little 32 5-Window Ford Coupe.  Nice looking color and the flames are killer.  The engine bay is nice an tidy.  Love these old Hot Rod builds.

Beautiful looking paint work especially the flames. Great looking interior. The engine and chassis are cleanly detailed and painted. The "Americans" just look right on this.

I’ve got a real soft spot for flames on a hot rod, especially on old Fords. Yours looks great, neatly done and nice colour combinations.

I’ve got this one in my stash and was leaning towards the highboy option, but after looking at this, I think I’ll go with fully fendered. Cheers, Stu.

Your 32 looks great and the colour combo is spot on. I have this kit and plan to do the full fendered version too. I've used the Lazy Modeller flame masks myself but with less success. Well done Craig and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

Very Cool Deuce Coupe Craig…the blue interior and top insert really enhance the overall look of the model.  Even though mostly box stock your build of this kit stands out!  Nice work ?
