Sledsel

I like the Smoothster grill better. Personally, I believe it is 1/25. I compared it to 1/24 my Monogram 37 Ford.

Wow... I hardly open the box and review the parts and instructions in a day, much less have a plan. Good Job

I love that black Del Rio I love that black Del Rio

When I saw this movie as a kid I thought those were the ugliest flames ever. That has not changed. LOL

With any luck, the delay is making this kit as good as possible. I am looking forward to it, and if it looks better than the Custom will buy quite a few.

that is a beautiful build

great, cannot wait to see more

well, I just spent quite a bit of time reading this from page 1... all I can say is this build is off the hook.

Very sharp looking Merc. As Keith says... they do not all need to be shiny. Where were your fitment issues? Have built this in the past and my only issue was the deck lid. Easy solution is to trim the "hinge" area of the interior tub, glue hinge to deck lid, install a plastic tube snugly between the hinges, tape deck lid and glue tube in place.

Love this build and kit. Hope it appears on the shelves again

these?

Love this old kit

I believe the box is the only difference, but I have not seen first hand. Cool old kit though.

Recently bought some small parts from him (since I never purchased before) Came fast and very nice pieces

Good looking build of a decent kit (most will argue that though) With patience it builds very nicely, as yours did.

I like the concept of it all. Nice job

Wow.... Nuff said

Question is.... is the RMM front bumper length corrected? Rear bumper is the same on the Custom, Wagons and Rancheros. Great that it is offered tho The very bottom of the front fender looks worse now than before. Just needs filled. After receiving the reply about the mold shop being in China and the may not know what it actually looks like, I told them to move it back here. Problem really is that the people HERE did not relay the information from THEIR measurements.

Fun kits if you are a little patient. The decal was from one of the Super Stocker kits I believe

Yes, I am totally aware of the history of the multi-piece Revell 57 Ranchero. Modelhaus had the wagon pieces for it in resin, so I may use a Ranchero and cut off the lower 1/4 panels and lower front fenders to try to fix a custom 300 kit if they scale correctly. If that works, I may just resin cast the corrected body for my own use. The Fairlanes are longer and lower than the Customs and wagons. The Del Rio still has some issues, possibly also dealt with by now (they are way behind on release) but is is better than the Custom IMHO

I forgot, I made my own headers

I see a score line for the valance on the fender, behind front tire body line looks more prominent. Th very bottom of the fender should blend into the rocker area and not have the indentation and still seems to have a bulge. Front bumper is longer but too rounded on the top corner. Some work been done on the rear quarter..... I can accept this and work with it much better than the Custom. Maybe I am nit picking, I do not care cuz I am the one who would pay for it. This will build up nice and not be too bad to fix up a little. At least it looks as if they are attempting to resolve issues, and I applaud that part. The thing I wonder is how did they all put out such nice, accurate, crisp bodies 40-50 years ago, and now there are so many with obvious flaws?

I have the set of these. Working on the Sedan now. Next will be the Ford and Plymouth (they will have ford and Mopar engines though) Added some detail, swapped valve covers, other than that, out of the box.

Ron, this started because I mentioned that I "hope" the faults were addressed. Since you have the Ranchero, Hardtop and Custom.... How close are dimensions?
