Greetings, dear modelers!
Ever since I became interested in modeling cars, I’ve had the idea of creating a series of the most significant Ford models. This is my third Ford model; I previously built the Revell Ford Model T 1913 and the Ford Victoria 1953.
I really liked this ICM kit: good plastic, high detail, the parts fit together perfectly, and it includes an engine (Italery, for example, likes to leave some of their models without an engine…).
During the build, I added spark plugs and wires, fuel tank hoses, replaced the front grille with a more realistic one, slightly aged the engine and chassis, opened all four doors so they open and close, and opened one part of the hood so it opens and closes. I deviated from the manufacturer’s recommended colors and painted the car a rich green. I painted the seats light brown, moving away from the boring black and gray. I used Revell enamel and MTN spray cans.
