Just curious to know if anyone has done an accurate 3D print or taken the time to correct the proportion problems on this offering... It's definitely beyond the average modeler's ability but can be mostly done.

MAD resin did a tailgate and emblems for the 65/66 trucks; the gate works on the 67/68 mercs as well. Grills are the same as Fords for all sixties Mercs; here's a great chance to improve the existing 68/69 grill and make it less toylike. Production on those ended in the late spring of 1968... here's a good link for info: https://www.fordification.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35331 -
The Official EBay Discussion Thread

A check on the US PS site revealed that base shipping of a roughly one pound box from most of the US to points north is about twenty five bucks, so I guess the rates I witnessed are anomalies. But they're out there if you look hard enough... I can still ship a kit south to anywhere on the continent above the rio grande for less than I can send one to the eastern half of this country for. It sure as heck will make sense to have one going forward to prove delivery if that site is going ahead with that payout plan. Of course, we could just be imagining things: what could go wrong with committing yourself to the Swiss watch efficiency of the ps? -
That blue deuce on the original box sure is a fine build but it definitely ain't a flattie under that hood Sure beats the red one for appeal. Looks like the flattie has a C4 auto transmission.

Don't think this will improve your outlook any... now I'm hearing that the purchase price is withheld by the site until they have proof of delivery. Wow. Won't this warm the hearts of those that have had the splendid experience of tracking their items through six or seven states before they finally arrive -

Not always... Key here is to ask... send the seller a note asking if they'll consider shipping regular basic mail. I'm guessing too many sellers are getting lazy, allowing the site to do their thinking for them and are just following prompts that benefit the site. I've seen listings recently that show shipping at basic rate to be about fifteen US. -
I believe it's 1/32 and as for worth, when a useful trade is offered we'll know I will combine kits for a suitable trade.

1960 Ford P/U alternate grilles
mk11 replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Speaking for myself, I guess I'd rather have an accurately rendered scale representation, even with limited parts count and one grill, than four different grills to apply to a caricature of the subject ... -
Do we have release/shipping info on the AMT Mach Won funny car?
mk11 replied to Monty's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
A slightly narrowed revell'69 windshield or maybe a '69 cougar front glass might be usable as well.
