1/8th scale ‘32 Ford 5 Window Coupe.

I build my 8th vehicles largely from sourcing old Monogram and Revell kits.
My last find was this partly assembled Ford Roadster - but I have several roadsters, so I thought I’d have a go at making a Coupe.
Coupe bodies are available from the States, but the cost is prohibitive.
Working from photographs and drawings, I thought I’d have a go and scratchbuild this model out of plasticard, and filler.

....a bit of sanding here, a bit of filling there, a bit of paint.....and it doesn’t look too bad ? 🥴ŷ

Although it appears finished, it’s not - they never are, with the odd glitch that needs fettling, someday.
Not as pretty as a 3window coupe, but using the roadster body it was easier to make.
Yep, I’ll get it finished one day ! 🥴

Amazing work Ron building a 5 window top, it looks perfect.

Thanks Shay - just checked out your 1/24th Revell 3 window - looks ace !

How on earth did you find that?

.....hehhhhh....it was under similar topics.

You did a fantastic job on scratching the feive windo coup Ron. Not sure I would hav attempted that.

Thanks Al

Still don't know how you found that Ron?

There's not many pics of my attempts at model cars posted here except in one post I'd have to go searching for

Hi Ron,

Sweet work as usual Sir, may I ask what shade of red you used please...

Andy...

Thanks Andy - the kit came painted that colour, but I managed to find a similar one to match which was Mazda Copper Red Pearl....used on the latest MX5’s

Looking really good!
