here is my '53 Victoria i have been working on slowly, very slowly since the kit first came out in '97. i painted it back then, who knows what color now, and then got it back out 3 or 4 years ago and finished the interior. then i lost it! i had no idea where it was until the other day. i was looking for some ammunition to shoot the freaking raccoons eating my trash and i found the Vicky! funny what you find when you ARENT looking for it! anyway here's a few pics. i finished the front suspension and still have to finish the rear up, but this is where it's at. now i'm going to stay on this one until it's done!

That's a cool model, Dave. Don't see many of them around. 1:1 either.

thanks for the positive replies! the kit is from Lindberg and i think it's been re-issued, so you should be able to still get them easily. the one thing i really don't like is that for some reason then, i didn't sand off the mold lines. they look like crap. but i'm still going to build it. an engine swap is on the way!

that would be nice, but i think it's going to get the flathead and automatic from the '32 sedan kit, it fits like it was meant to go in this kit. i think this will be finished to be a driver to get to work and back, then have a companion hot rod for the weekends! Dave

i dont have any foil worth a crap, so i'm going to have to get out to the hobby shop and hope that what they have is good. the sheet i did have is all wrinkled up and it's not that old! i think this car is cursed. Dave
