Well, here it is!!! My second build of the AMT '32 Ford Victoria in art box style,and this time the drag version. Again, no major detailing, just paint, and a clean build. Two things happened in this build that I think really make the model, The decals are 45 years old, and when I put them on (yes I actually got them off the sheet!!) and they dried even after trying to rinse off the old glue, they still looked like they were put on 45 years ago. Solution....I liked the look, and set them in two part urethane!!! The second thing that happened was when I masked off the roof insert, and primed it, the primer cracked, but when I shot two coats of semi gloss black on, it gave the insert a more realistic look!!! Oh well, I think it turned out pretty good, and has the Art Box look!!!

I've always loved Vick's. But those fish scales would annoy me from across the room.

LOL...Paul, I felt the same way at first, but after looking at it awhile, it kinda grew on me, and I think It gives it the look of being done in the early sixties, and has sat on a shelf all these years!!!
