70mach1 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Engine wired and plumbed. Refinished in BASF driftwood grey and Jonquill yellow lacquers, DuPont urethane clear coat. Scratch built distributor, fuel filter assembly, starter solenoid, parking brake assembly. Added valve stems and wheel weights to the tires. This is the first time I ever used decals for the white walls. I was impressed how well they turned out.

cobraman Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Good looking Ford. I normally don't have good luck with WW decals but your look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The 57 Ford looks great, nice paint, detail and overall nicely done. FYI, a Fairlane is a trim model, this particular 57 is a Custom, the Fairlane is more chromed up and a longer wheelbase. http://oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Ford/1957_Ford/1957_Ford_Full_Line_Brochure/dirindex.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmb727 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Wow, beautiful job. I hope you display it on a mirror base - that underside is just too nice to not be seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparfarmer Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Very nicely done and strange two tone especially on a low based model..Very clean and like someone else said make sure you display at shows with a mirror base..Excellent work..

Anglia105E Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I like your 1957 Ford Fairlane build a lot, Andy...... the two-tone colour combination is very unusual, but pleasing to the eye and so '50's in character. The white wall decals have worked nicely for you, the engine detail is excellent and the underside of your model car has a nice realistic look too. This makes me want to build one of these Ford Fairlane's ! ..... which kit is this. Andy? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Since Revell launched their '57 Ford line of kits, there have been no shortage of them on this forum. Yours is one of the nicest builds I've seen. Great details without overdoing it. Very authentic looking. Great model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Really well done. Great paint, details and a super clean interior. The colors work really well too. Very, very nice stock build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Outstanding looking model. The unusual colors work well together as does the interior. I like the mild ageing of the undercarriage. All of the trim is very cleanly done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Very attractive model. I always liked Fords of this vintage in two-tone paint, and we rarely see them modeled. Very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
