'32 Ford Roadster


This is Monogram's '32 Ford Roadster Street Rod #2718



I built this model pretty much from the box. The interior was airbrushed Tamiya matt white acrylic to match the rag-top. The steering wheel was painted woodgrain, the gear lever knob was painted as an 8 ball, extra under-dash guages and a fire extinguisher were also added. With the body, I removed the bumper brackets, the headlamps were de-chromed and airbrushed the same color as the body, this being Model Master Italian Red enamel. I treated the firewall to some Bare Metal Foil to simulate stainless steel, and finally a set of fog-lamps were fitted from the spare parts box. The tires were sanded to give a road-worn effect, and the lettering hand painted using Tamiya matt white acrylic.

This model won me best Hot Rod at a local model show.
