Correct Brian, way flat compared to what it should be. The entire side is pretty flat, but does not stand out so much with the boxy Bronco. Brians pic shows the gentle roll of the body side. If you look at the front fender flare, you can see how much it rolls under below the door line. This has been an issue with several Revell kits as of late (57 Ford, 49 Merc) Some strip styrene added to the back of the rockers then sanded to give it a roll will work. Otherwise the bottom of the rocker will be paper thin. The rear quarter and front of the fender look pretty good. Good eye Brian Thank You Tom for the compliment on the 57. Still not done with that kit though. Need to have the front bumper replated.

Other than the work needed on the rockers, this looks pretty nice. I may need to pick one up.

Great kit.... Good Moonshine car.

I like it

looks short to me. I almost bought one of these, cannot wait to see how it builds up

I did a Phantom Shelby awhile back.....

Looks great! I am building this kit and it is driving me batty...... every time I paint it, something happens to the paint and in the purple bath. 4 times so far! ARGH

Looks great. Love the color combo. Just looks "right" I feel your pain in fitting some of these older tools. Fit, sand, repeat. I do so much fitting before starting on older tools. Do not even mention paint. I have one kit that has taken 4 purple baths from paint issues. A recent build received some unplanned decals because of a minor paint issue.

Go ahead and assemble the main body and tape it tight to the chassis. Do not glue to the chassis. Tape the interior side panels in and it will stay in place for ya. It will come off easily. Sand the bottoms of the interior panels a little to give it a loose fit when reassembly. Mine I did not do that and the gap from the bottom body lip and interior panel was pretty snug and took some push to snap it in. Another hint, add heater and radiator hoses and it will dress up the engine compartment nicely. Use some solid core wire of different gauges and you can bend them to shape similar to your wires. Leave the insulation on and color with paint or marker. That is what I did on this Buick Looking good on this build. Patience is all it needs to look good.

wow..... just wow

Impressive

Looks Great! The only issue I see is the weathering. That is a weeks worth of rust..... a years worth, the entire top of the front fenders would be gone. HAHAHAHA

I owned a 48 Ford, the dash in that car would be steel. Wagons and convertibles were wood grained, light yellow base with light brown graining to give it the maple look Great start on the kit

Looks pretty sharp, Flat black suites it well. It needs smaller diameter wheels and low to the ground in my opinion. Makes me want another kit to do something similar

I'll have to try that.... Mine always come out too jagged

How did you scribe those door lines so nicely?

People knock this kit, but you just showed how nice it can be built!

Do it for practice, if it comes out good, get a Cougar kit and complete

very cool, I have thought of this conversion many times. Whats next? Fastback Cougar

Great job. Like you, I prefer the thicker "C" pillar

Outstanding!

VERY COOL

69 AMX also. I have these 2, with photo etch parts.

Yes, it is a die-cast. I bought it as a kit from Wally World. Built up nice and looks at home with my kits

like these?
