(PICS) GMP's 1/18 Diecast Deuce kits
These traditional '32 Ford Hot Rods were all modified to some extent from GMP (now ACME) coupe and Roadster kits in the last few years.
In the case of the two 5 window coupes, I bought rough and incomplete prototype bodies on Ebay to use with the three-window kits.
The two red hi-boy models use small-block Chevy motors with added detail and traditional valve covers, while the blue 5 window uses a detailed tri-carb 348 Chevy, modified from the 409 used in the American Graffiti '55 Chevy, and the yellow 5-window hi-boy uses a detailed tri-carb Oldsmobile engine modified significantly from that in a Maisto supercharged Willys gasser.
Paint on all the models is automotive basecoat/clearcoat.

All are great. But, really like the blue coupe.
