Hi all, been working on this kit lately. I'm trying to replicate the one my Dad had circa 1961. It was almost identical to Dan Weiss' outstanding example. I ordered up some Cumberland Green and Colonial white from MCW to get correct colors for it. It's a nice kit but does have some fit issues here and there but nothing serious.

Finished 'er up today. It was a fun yet challenging build. I really enjoyed the pleasant stroll down memory lane while building it.

Really nice build you have there, Ron....... I like the car, the paint colours are so vibrant and brilliant chrome work too. Your Dad would indeed be very proud. Late '50's American cars interest me, and if I wasn't specialising in building '50's Rolls-Royce model cars in 1:24 scale, I would go for kits like the one you have built, for sure.
