Genegenie Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Nice model !! ....but the kit I bought, had a slight twist to the body and the hood wouldn't fit square, otherwise a good release by Revell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Nice. Simple, clean and basic. And a very typical looking (and attractive) '50s paint scheme. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I agree with everyone else. A Great looking Fairlane with beautiful color scheme. Green and white fit perfectly together, especially in body like this. Sharp details all around, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I agree with everyone else. A Great looking Fairlane with beautiful color scheme. Green and white fit perfectly together, especially in body like this. Sharp details all around, too. X2. Nice stance too. It appears to have a slight nose-down rake, which works perfectly with the overall look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I must admit, I do like the colors on it. Nice build Mike, I'll look forward to seeing it at MassCar in March. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks everyone! X2. Nice stance too. It appears to have a slight nose-down rake, which works perfectly with the overall look. Actually, that nose down rake comes via a jacked up rear and large diameter tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Way better than yet another '57 Chevy. Great model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Cullinan Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Looks good and a great color choice. I'm looking forward to doing this kit,any hiccups for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks Greg! This model went together without any problems. The only thing I can recommend is to be very careful installing the hood onto the body. Carefully bend the hood slightly in the center and slip the mounting pins into place.
