Coppercat Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This is my first post on this forum 😐 The model was made in 2015 on the basis of the Revell kit. I tried to open all body parts and make an exact copy of the engine. The model has an illuminated dashboard and cabin lighting (when the door is opened). I have a lot of documentation from the workshop, so if anyone is interested, I will be happy to share it. I have a nice watching 🙂 Greetings, Jacek 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.e.charles Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) very nicely done! i particularly like the multiple color selection for the individual parts and your attention to the photo etch details. some of your thoroughness is usually reserved for much larger scale models. please show a build thread for your next project!

Johnny Tip Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I absolutely love it! Key's in the ignition... Could that be a 383, fuelie heads and a hurst on the floor? (Yes, I'm a fan of the Boss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This is absolutely stunning, what a gorgeous model, really great work Torque Thrust wheels look fantastic too. I have just ordered a set of these but replicas on a VW wide 5 stud pattern for s 57 VW Splitty bus project. They are being made now. Great job and photos Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Jacek, A wonderful job throughout. Opening and hinged panels, upholstery, details, presentation and photography. One hint for your next one in this scale; use thinner plug wires. In this scale they should be .28MM or close to it. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedjohn Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Gorgeous job here Coppercat on this classic deuce coupe. Love everything here, even the red painted mags! The detailing on the engine and various handles and body mounted hardware is impressive. You did a great job on incorporating the opening doors and trunk: did you have to use two bodies to perform this operation? Your photos are equally wonderful but I do have one request: please add a photo of the underside of the chassis if you can. Thanks for sharing! PS - love the Boss too but his ‘69 Chevy had a 396 for which I’ve read Fuelie heads weren’t available (but it made for great lyrics 😁) Edited May 26, 2021 by nearsightedjohn Grammar and content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercat Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Thank you all for the kind words. If anyone would like to know the details of the model's creation, please visit my workshop: ford-32-3-window-coupe-revell-1:25 Unfortunately in Polish. If necessary, I can help. I am happy to explain and add what you need. Again, thank you for the warm acceptance Edited May 26, 2021 by Coppercat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Hi Codger 🙂 Now I would not use such thick wires (0.45 mm). You're right, they should be around 0.3mm. I made the model a few years ago. I will show my newer works soon. There I tried not to make such mistakes. Jacek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 FABULOUS!!! What a great Hot Rod. You are sure that's the model from the box and not the original 1:1 car? Even the 3 Texan guys look better than originally 😇😎 Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflowne Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Beautiful work in this '32. Open parts is not easy but the final work is great. Funny ZZ Top with a '32, they loose their '34 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anteater Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Fantastic. You say the cabin lighting illuminates when you open the door. How does that work, then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed neodymium magnets in the door. There are reed switches hidden in the car body. When the door is closed, the magnets act on the reed switch and the lighting goes out. With the door open (no matter which), the distant magnet no longer works on the reed switch. The reed switch contacts are short-circuited and the lighting turns on. Reed switch (there are different types): 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
