This was Ford's second most popular car for 1953 with 305,433 produced for the year. Your kit requires a Lindberg 53 Ford Victoria kit like the one shown at the left for all the donor components. If you don't already have one they are available at most hobby shops, craft stores like Hobby Lobby or at eBay where there are usually a dozen or two being auctioned off.

No Chemical Cleanup Needed!

This kit has already received the recommended 24 hour Bleche-Wite soak and final wash and all the extraneous flash has been removed. All that you have to do is the final sanding, prime and paint the color(s) of your choice!

Coming or going, this was a pretty classy car.

Finished kit in Seafoam Green

The continental kit you see here is included with the Lindberg kit.

"How do I know how much paint I'll need?"

If you're going to do a TuTone paint job, a 1 oz. bottle of each color will usually do the job even if you've got very little experience with an air brush.

If you're going to do a single color paint job a 1oz. bottle will do the job if you're an experienced modeler. If you've never used an air brush before, go with a 1 oz bottle only if you feel lucky...otherwise get a 2 oz. bottle just to be sure you've got enough from the same batch in case you need to spray on another coat.

Please note that all colors are approximate due to differences in monitors and the way systems and browsers interpret colors. All paints are mixed from original color charts of the era.
