Ford produced three cars between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, the Model 18, and the Model 46. These succeeded the Model A.

Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the Lindberg 1/32 Scale 1932 Ford B Roadster. This is a model car unboxing video. 

This 1932 Ford B Roadster model kit was originally manufactured by Pyro back in 1963. Many of these model cars were converted into slot car racers using brass sheet, rubber tires and electric motors. The Lindberg 1/32 Scale 1932 Ford B Roadster has also appeared under the Life - Like label, best known as a model railroad manufacturer. 

The Model B had an updated four cylinder and was available from 1932 to 1934. The V8 was available in the Model 18 in 1932, and in the Model 46 in 1933 & 1934. The 18 was the first Ford fitted with the flathead V‑8.

The Lindberg 1/32 Scale 1932 Ford B Roadster model car kit was intended for moderate model builders. The model contains 32 parts, has 2-piece wheels and tires, and is molded in white plastic with clear parts. Sadly, there is no chrome included with this model, so you will have to paint the grille, bumpers, headlights and hubcaps with a chrome pen or chrome paint and use a product like Bare Metal Foil for the body moldings. 

The Lindberg 1/32 Scale 1932 Ford B Roadster model car kit does not include a fully developed engine or opening hood, but there is the bottom of a Ford Flathead V8 molded to the chassis pan complete with the exhaust pipe and muffler. 

The chassis is a simplified affair and includes the fenders, floor pan bottom, frame, battery, rear axle, rear spring, torque tube and wishbone. The front axle with spring and radiator are molded as one piece and glue to the front of the car. It is met by a separately molded wishbone, much like a 1/25th scale AMT model car.  The two piece solid plastic wheels and tires glue together easily and use a plastic axle that passes through the suspension components. Tires are generic but include a depression for painting white walls and the hubcaps include the Ford script, and for the scale they look good.  

The interior is a multi-piece affair that is made up of the floor pan with the seat molded to the body, a dashboard also molded to the body, floor mounted gear stick, steering column and a steering wheel. The inner door panels are actually molded into the body sides beside the seat. The windshield with side wing windows and rear glass are separate pieces that you can glue into the inner surface of the roof and windshield frame for a more realistic look. 

The body fits on the frame tightly, but you will have to spread it apart in order for this to happen. Fit and finish of these pieces is excellent, but you need to take care in their alignment. Bumpers, headlights, windshield frame, grille shell and front axle, spare tire mount, up or down top, and horn glue to the body and fenders. 

There are some mold marks throughout the model that you will need to remove for a tighter fit between panels. You can remove them easily enough with a number 16 hobby knife and some sandpaper.

No decals are included with this model car, but we do have some 1/32 scale slot car decals on our web site located here :  https://www.monster-hobbies.ca/Hobby_Products/c104-132-model-cars/

This model is easy to assemble and it does go together quite well. It will look good on your shelf, or you could use the body/interior in a slot car. Either way, you will have fun building it.
