- Revell 32 Ford Roadster Unboxing
I got this kit because I was hoping it had the motorcycle fenders. I was happy when I saw it did. Then the more I dug into the kit the more I liked it. This will be a fun kit to build, and a great addition to my roadster collection.

Revell is killing it with their new kits. Thanks for sharing.
It always seems that they are just a step above the rest for quality and fit.
Revell has some killer kits out, especially these early Fords!
They sure do. These fords are so similar, but they sure made every one of them so different.
Back in the early 60’s I bought AMT 3 in1 kits almost always, rarely bought a Revell. Simply because Revell only offered one option and AMT offered stock, custom or competition options in one kit. Back then the AMT kits were about a $1.50 each and had good variety and very good quality. The AMT 32 Roadster and Coupe came with full fenders or motorcycle fenders for highboy versions, they don’t any longer. I’m pretty sure the other 32 models, Sedan and Phaeton, and the Model A’s, also came with extra fenders. While I’m at it, the 40 Ford Coupe and Sedan came with both 39 and 40 grills, headlights and taillights so you could build either year or mix and match. The new 40 Coupe does not. The last kits I bought in my first model car life were the 62 Impala SS Hardtop, and the 63 1/2 Ford Galaxy and Mercury Marauder. I was sixteen and started working on real cars and chasing real girls shortly after that. Can’t work on real cars anymore, so I’m back to scale model cars. The tools, paints and knowledge available is much improved. The new AMT kits have not improved and are pretty low quality and the fit and finish pretty much sucks.
I started building in the late 60's and I think some of the kits AMT and Revell still use the same molds. The little extras that would come in the kits are about gone too. I remember getting the Mod Squad's van and it came with a dirt bike or something like that. Now I'm happy when the kit comes straight. LOL But like I tell everyone, the newer AMT kits are nice to work with. I've done a few over the past year, and other than the Pinto kit I ended up chucking that one. It was just bad. The rest of them built up into good kits. One thing for sure, the glue and paint we have now is soooooo much better than the old days. Plus with the internet there is so much information out there that you can come up with a good idea of how things should look before you mess them up. LOL
Very cool. I do like those roadsters. One suggestion, when you do the seatbelts, d a double thickness at the buckle, and run around it with the Molotow pen. Two thumbs up!
Thank you very much for the great suggestion. I will be doing exactly that. I was planning on doubling up the female end and the male end I was going to drill out the buckle latch part. I think that will look good.
Great unboxing Mark. Being it's a Revell kit, it's as I expected, great parts. Looks like a very nice kit to build.
Thank you very much. I've come to expect great things from them, but this one is even nicer than most.
That green is really nice. Can't wait to see it.😊
Thank you very much. I was planning on doing that green on the Dart, but it is way too bright for that one, so I'll use that for this Roadster, and will be getting some gold for the Dart.
👍👍Best '32 kit out there!!!!!!!👍👍
I think you are right.
Another killer looking kit. Revell has the hot rod kits absolutely mastered. Another great bunch of build options. Now you just need a couple 34 V8s and maybe a model T hot rod and you’ll have the ford hot rod scene absolutely covered. I’m really loving the cycle fenders and the split glass on this. Too cool. Thanks for sharing again.
Thank you very much. I have no idea why I got all wrapped up in these roadsters. I have an old AMT kit that has a pickup option that I will pull back out sometime.
@@grandpamarkshobbies well, I know you didn’t intend to get caught up on these but you’ve sure compiled a pretty nice fleet! They look great
LOL. They are kind of addictive. There is so many options and do dads that you can add to them.
@@grandpamarkshobbies I know!! I only built the one and I wanted to immediately go buy all of them!! Lol
LOL. Yep.
What a cool kit! Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!
Thank you very much Rob. I have to start this one today because the paint for the other one didn't come yet. LOL
Looking forward to this build.
All of these Revell roadster kits are really good kits. I haven't had a problem with any of them, and I've done four different ones so far. This will be my fifth. I think they are my favorite series to build.
I just watched this video again, paused partway through to order this kit for the same reason you did. The fenders! In my first go around in the early sixties, AMT 3in1 kits were King. I had most of the early Fords. Everyone you could build as a highboy came with fenders. Now none of them do. I have the Revell 32 Coupe, it has a lot of nice parts including full fenders, but no highboy fenders. My intention was to build Milner’s Yellow Coupe from American Graffiti, not happening with any 32 Coupes available. Good unboxing!
One of these days I'm going to order enough kits so I can bash together Milner's Coupe. The way all these Revell kits are it would be easy to swap parts from one kit to another to make it right. I just have to figure out which kit's to get. Good thing about that is you would still be able to make two other cool roadsters out of the other kits as well.
Very cool. This may be the best of all the roadsters you've done. I can't wait to see her finished! I think I'll add this to my lineup. Very awesome kit.
Thank you very much. I think you are right, this is one of the nicest roadsters they've made yet. I'm going to be starting this one first because my paint isn't going to be here for the Dart until next Friday, and I'm itching to start something. LOL
@@grandpamarkshobbies 😂 I know the feeling. Lol! The previous 2 weekends I've had to work. So I couldn't wait anymore either. I started my 50 Chevy Pickup yesterday. I felt like a kid at Christmas. 😂
LOL. That's how I'm going to feel this afternoon.
Nice 32 Ford unboxing and parts review.👍
Thank you very much.
Looks like a cool model kit mark. Revel have some good kits out there...I like it. Good luck on the model show for November..cheers
Thank you very much. I do tend to sway to the Revell kits. I'm not expecting to win anything at the show, just want to have fun and take a few in so everyone can see. I also have a 3' USS Bataan that I'm going to bring.
Looks like I'll have to get one of those kits Mark! Thanks for the video 😎👍
You are very welcome. It sure is a nicely done kit.
Great unboxing again Mark Thank you,
Thank you very much.
Very nice split window kit
Thank you for watching. It is a sharp kit. I was asked to try and bring this and the Dart to the show in November.
Mark,
Thanks for the unboxing. This appears to be a generic repop of the "Stacey David" '32 roadster. Hence the guitar. Nonetheless, it is a stellar kit & builds up beautifully. I am interested in seeing how you build this one up.
Take care,
Rick
Rick, thanks for watching. I figured it was a repop of something, but I'm good with that, because I missed it back then. LOL
Another great video! I built this kit a few months ago. It's a good one!
Thank you, I'm very excited to get into it.
I like that guitar
I have a real one just about the same as that, that's nice
How cool is that!!!! I am going to even try and put strings on it. LOL
That bat/ split windshield screamin use me, use me lol
Thanks for watching. For sure I'll be using that.
I enjoyed the unboxing. I am sure you will do a great job on it.
Thank you very much. The way things are working out, this may get built next.
Great kit review! I guess from all the other reviews Ive seen you can only build it with the Duvall windshield. Their are some great detailed parts in that kit. Thanks for sharing.
It only comes with the glass for the Duvall, but it does come with the frame for the flat window, so if you wanted to cut some blister pack you can easily make a flat window.
Pretty sure that windshield frame is a Duvall... pretty popular custom trick in the 40s and 50s😎👍
I had no idea that it had a name. Thank you very much. I'll make sure to mention that when I do the update.
Yes it's a Duval! Look at the license plate on decal sheet.
Also the guitar is from a real hot rod built by Stacy David on a show called gears with Stacy David and ends with an interview with a rep from Revell models!
The split window is called a Duval windshield and the rear fenders are bobbed.
I couldn't remember bobbed to save my life. Thank you.
@grandpamarkshobbies I can't wait to see you build this. I'm taking notes on how to wire up my current build AMT 36 ford taildragger. I may even light things up.
I'm excited to get rolling on this one. I'm going to light the Dart that I'm working on too, and I may even use some fiber optics on that one too. LOL
Notes Gibson 335S guitar to a picture of Buddy Holly with a Fender Stratocaster...
Looks like a really cool kit from Revell!
Thanks for watching. Honestly I know absolutely nothing about guitars. Alexa played "It's so easy to fall in love", just before I started in the shop that day, and it's been stuck in my head ever since. LOL That's why I came up with Buddy Holly. LOL
@@grandpamarkshobbies lol! Understood. My dad's the guitar guy and it's something I learned from him. Respect for a Buddy Holly reference as I grew up on his music. Rave On and Peggy Sue are some of my favorites from him.
That's funny as heck. As I was reading this Alexa was playing Peggy Sue from my Roadster music list.
@@grandpamarkshobbies Alexa is on to you lol! With your unboxing you have put this kit on my radar. Thank you for adding another one to the growing stash 😆! I may not comment on all of them, but I really do enjoy and look forward to your videos 😀
LOL. Alexa can creep me out some days. I've started getting a little more kits than I may be able to build too. LOL Have a great one, and thanks for following along.
Awesome kit GP! For me I would use the cherry bomb exhaust, but that is me. Both will be cool. I had Thrush lake sides in my 66 Ford Fairlane and after burning my legs 4 times they went to the front yard with a "For Sale" on them... Lol Maybe the 390 HighPo was to much for them. Yep the head lights will be tricky drilling out.
Thanks for sharing Mark...
LLAP 🖖
I've used the Cherry Bombs on the other three, so I think I will use the straight pipes (Calf Burners) I love the other headers though, so it's going to be a tough decision, but I do have an AMT pickup roadster that I may try and fit them on. LOL But that will be way after Christmas.
@@grandpamarkshobbies Decision, Decision, what is a guy to do... 🤣
I see your point. Go with the 2nd chrome set then... 😄 I hear ya, its going to be Xmas before I get anything finished... Lol
LLAP 🖖
You know that I'll end up making the decision just before it gets glued on. LOL
@@grandpamarkshobbies Hahahaha... I know! 😁
LLAP 🖖
Another nice kit. Time to start building?
Looking forward to learning some new tricks.
Thank you very much. I've had the grandkids here all week, so things about stopped. I will be back in the shop tomorrow afternoon and will be getting serious about building. I have a lot to do before November.
@@grandpamarkshobbies I do understand those priorities. Time with grandkids is time well spent for both them and you.
I'm in Heaven.
It appears the Revell kits are of good quality, where the AMT kits are not. It’s a shame.
On the most part Revell kits are very well designed. The AMT kits are hit and miss sometimes. I've had some really great ones and some that are just bad. The newer ones are very good.
Cool looking kit with lots of parts options. I've been meaning to ask where you got the blonde female figure from and did it come painted or did you paint it? She looks amazingly real.
Thank you very much. I got her on Amazon. She is from American Diorama. She came just as you see her. Pipe wrench in hand and all. LOL
@@grandpamarkshobbies Thanks for the info. They have some nice diorama figures.
You are welcome. They sure do.
Hey mark can you help me out with where the best place to get tamiya paint sets
I have been getting my Tamiya paint from Amazon. No one around me sells it anymore.
Does quick shine make the molotow appear dull ?
Quick Shine will dull the Molotow pen just a little bit, but honestly I think it takes the shine down to where it should be.
I love this kit, (any '32 or A's)! I'd really like to know where you got your 'work crew', or have you already covered that?? 👍🦘
I am crazy about these A kits too. I got the crew from Amazon. They are American Diorama.
