  1. This is looking really nice. Detailing is outstanding Been watching this build because I have one on the shelf I need to get too. As an FYI, original Fords (and correctly restored ones) the valance in front should be argent silver.
  2. Sorry, was not on for a bit... I read that people feel the sedan it is dead on... wrong.... There is a 1:1 57 in my dads garage and the kit is far from accurate. Here are my major issues with this kit. the front wheel body line (bulges out instead of concave behind the tire), front valance (should wrap around the side to wheel well) front fender issue, (fender should not extend below the grill), rear quarter body lines (upper body line should extend almost to the rear bumper, lower is supposed concave, the kit looks like it was merely gouged out and does not extend back far enough) the front bumper is too short, should extend to wheel well) and the speaker cover on the dash should be flush, not sticking up a scale inch. Compare your kit body to some of the pics on here.
  3. Personally, I do not like either of the Revell Mercs. Both have to flat of a windshield area (not enough center peak) the wagon still has the peaked hood and header, but it looks as if they attempted to remove the flatness of the sides that the coupe has.
  4. From what I read, the grill was re-tooled
  5. Again, another one I will not buy because I just do not want to fix the flaws it shares with the sedan. Sticking with resin for now
