Looking for a 1967/68 Toronado, I am looking for a builder/restore project and a price according to condition..not interested in mint or similar types since I know these are expensive and collectables...I will modified and redo mine and dont want to cut up a good one of these.thanks in advance.

This is my on progress Missing Link resin model 1978 Ford LTD in the Kentucky State Police colors, in these pictures the model is still missing a lot of small details, by now is almost finished and just have to take new pictures showing the compleated build. The resin body and parts where great and must say Kevin at Missing Link Co. is a GREAT guy to deal with, service,communication and quality is first class in my book.

This is my scrachtbuilt 1979 Ford LTD-II, is on the early stages of the configuration and construction...a lot of lamination,putty and sanding still ahead but I think the basic profile can be appreciated at this "dirty stage" of the project.

The Monaco Police car will eventualy be a Nevada Highway patrol car in "slick top" configuration. The interior of this car will be light blue not the tan shown right now...this model was a old paint test body that I had laying around, striped the old layers of paint and fix it as best as I could and repaint it in the Nevada H.W. colors...still have to polish the paint and work and fix other details, but I like the results so far....and yes...I will convert the front grille to a FURY version as the real car I chose to model.

Thanks for looking and hope you like them!!

I got this in the mail today, I perorder it the moment it was anaunced some month ago. I will post better and more detail pictures of the parts in a couple of days..but in my very personal opinion a very nice kit...not ultra detailed since it do not have an full engine..just a molded unit at the back plate...but still it has a nice..very nice body and cockpit as well as wheels..these are incorrect for the current car..but hey..is still nice!!

Some will say that is a bit overprice for a "curbside" model kit..but again in my very personal opinion it beats a resin $300 dollar offering in the same configuration/style..and some times pin holes and warped parts and body...so not to bad the price for the Fujimi offering.

I plan to do mine in the Gulf version....the kit decals only gives you the "Mclaren Team"  version...but I am pretty sure very soon there will be a lot of aftermarket decal sets and accesories for this particular kit. It is indeed a beautiful car.

I am almost done with my scale model of Animal Jim Zephyr Pro Mod car....but still crossing my fingers that someone do a decal set with the gold lettering found on the car.

Is anyone planning or are doing these?...appreciate the help!
