Year of birth? Say if a kit doesn’t show the year of the subject, but the subject could pass for a certain model year, would that be fine? 

Example: Revell’s Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was just reissued. It could pass for an ‘01 Lightning, but was last reissued as a ‘99. The current issue doesn’t specify the model year:

Yes, as long as the bodystyle was available in a given year its good even if the specific year on the kit doesn't match. This is great for newer cars where they ran the same body basically unchanged for several years in a row.

Year of your birth theme. 🤔  This would be perfect, if I wasn't in the doldrums the past several months, and buried with work (long story).  I grew up with this 1961 Mercedes 190 sedan, that's me in the blanket outside the hospital.  Dad sold it after I graduated from high school, so I got to drive it some.

I got this absolutely horrible model, which rolled off the shelf and hit the concrete floor after I got it.

There is this 3D file of the car, would require some modifications such as taillights.  But one needs to have a subscription to that website, and have someone with a big enough printer.

Yea, like this is going to happen.  😑
