\u00c2\u00a0For ’55 & ’56 Ford made some nice changes from the past. They introduced the Victoria, top of the line that featured tutone paint options separated down the side with a big chrome strip and the \"000b\"<\/a> top-of-the-line Crown Victoria had a large chrome strip that went from one side behind the doors up over the roof down to the other side behind the door. The Crown Victoria also offered the glass front roof. They introduced the Y block V8 overhead valve engine with dual exhaust and a dual four barrel Thunderbird V-8 to power their family sedans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This review features the AMT \u00e2\u20ac\u212256 Ford Victoria model #31545. This 1:25 scale kit has a level 2 skill level designation for the intermediate modeler with two chrome trees and parts to build a stock, custom or drag version. It also has the glass for the front of the roof but you have to cut the roof out to install it. You can do the interior stock or custom with four bucket seats and a full length console. It has opening doors and hood.
\n\"000C\"<\/a>
\nThe kit had some minor flash to remove but, as with all models, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need to clean up the mold lines. It was molded in a light gray which makes it easy to paint without bleed through. It has stock wheels and tires and chrome reverse with slicks for the rear and chrome spoke wheels for the front.<\/p>\n

This model\u00c2\u00a0has the exhaust molded-in which is a little tricky to paint. If you want white wall tires, you have to paint them or get them elsewhere. There is no side rear glass to do the Crown Victoria and you’ll have to make that. I had no fit issues. It is a well-tooled kit but not for the beginner.<\/p>\n

Thank You – Larry Cleveland<\/p>\n

Editor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Note:<\/strong> Larry is a frequent contributor to model car forums and is always willing to lend a hand to his fellow hobbyists. He is the undisputed leader in model car building. I once saw him build and finish ten Willy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s models in a fortnight. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not uncommon to see him finish 140+ great looking models\u00c2\u00a0a year! Larry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tag line \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Willy’s & Chevrolet’s Forever\u00e2\u20ac\u009d isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t taken lightly. I was honored that he agreed to build this gorgeous Ford Victoria for RoR. The next time you get the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Builder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Blues\u00e2\u20ac\u009d remember the inspiration that\u00c2\u00a0Larry provides and get started on your masterpiece.<\/p>\n
