1970 Ford Country Squire wagon.

Well after six years of bad paint, finding the wood grain and various other road blocks my '70 Country Squire is done. This is a loose replica of my '77 Country Squire I restored in college between 2005 to 2008. I hand made the roof rack, God only knows where I picked up the water slide decals for the wood grain and the wheel covers are off the reissued AMT van kit. Paint was Testors lacquer flame red with three coats of clear, wet sanded and hand polished. Other than adding an antenna and a few items to match my '77, shes 99% done.

Mike,

Modelhaus provided the decals from RedBear for the '70 CS. They are nice but a tad thick and they did not match the woodgrain I used to restore my '77. Wish I can find the plastic sleeve the waterslide decals I used, think they were out of the military section. Just like the real wagons, finding the right or close woodgrain is an art in itself. LOL.
