The Rodder's Journal magazine has teamed up with diecast manufacturer GMP to create a series of four special "Real Steel" diecast '32 Ford Hot Rods. Each model is finished in burnished steel similar to polished metal, and is limited to 750 of each. The first two have been released, a '32 Ford convertible and a '32 Ford 3-window coupe. No news on the next two as yet? Here's a few pics of the one I managed to get hold of.

What scale Tezza?
It looks good but there are details that don't stand up to close inspection from what I can see.

Hey Zenrat it's 1:18 scale. It's up to GMP's normally good standard but it's made from the same mould as all their other '32 Fords. The engine has a lot of plastic in it.

Don't get me wrong Tezza, most of it looks pretty good.
It's mainly those clumsy looking bonnet hinges. Particularly the way they fix to the tops.
It's a shame on a model that begs to be displayed with the bonnet open.
