rsmodels Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I have three AMT 59 Lincoln 3 in 1 kits built up. I had a bunch of the Craftsman Series issues so decided to build one of them. You might guess I like 59 Lincolns (and 60 too). This is built right out of the box except that I used Modelhaus AMT 59 style tires as the ones in this kit were the 61 style tire and didn't have wide whitewalls. I did not paint the body, I just polished the plastic. I am happy the way it came out. I hope you like this one. I didn't take interior photos before assembling it. I welcome comments, good and bad. -Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Beautiful. When you say polished the body. Did you just use a polishing or rubbing compound? Looks fabulous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Deep rich looking black paint and clean trim details. The copper one looks much the same, both great looking builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fabulous Hi David, I use Meguiars Plastx to polish plastic. Sometimes I wax the model after but don't think I did on this one. Thanks for your comment. -Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kah puts Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 "I did not paint the body " man that buffed out marvelous. I love the baroque styling of these late 50's Lincoln's, although 59 and 60 look similar the dash in the 60 is a knockout especially with that big steering wheel. Excellent build, thanks for posting.

Chuck Most Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Absolutely gorgeous! I hope that, much like the '59 Imperial, one day they find the molds for this (more likely the '60 version though) laying around and reissue it. A boy can dream.
