This build is based on a clients real
car from Ontario Canada. I started
with another fine resin cast from
Hendrix Mfg. He also supplied the
factory continental kit and visor. The
model is in 1/25th scale.
I shot this in the Ford colors of Banner
Blue, and Waterfall Blue. Wet sanded
and rubbed to a shine. This depicts a
rather rare combo. Factory visors were
rare for 55. then add the tire kit and it
is unique. Everything was foiled and
trimmed properly to show realism.
Interior is totally detailed from the
real car. It has dog dish hubcaps with
beauty rings. The
wings crest on the
continental kit is one I have never seen
before. Maybe its a Canadian or
aftermarket item, not sure. I replicated
it using photo etched pieces.
