FORD PHAETON VICTORIA (ERTL)

This is a 1:24 scale pre-painted kit from ERTL of a 1932 Ford Phaeton and Ford Victoria sedan on a 1932 Roadster chassis hot rod. The parts are all cut from the sprue and painted and sealed in numbered clear pouches. Glue does not stick to this paint. Every surface has to be scratched so the paint will adhere. I bought the kit at a used kit sale for $5. It was exasperating. The only great aspect is the decals behind the instrument bezels. It will not be shown at IPMS and will not be entered in any competition. It is destined to be a gift to a car lover.
