Overall I like this kit. With a little work it builds up well. I don't mind building 24th scale at all. I built this one from I think the first issue, It was molded in metallic blue styrene, Done as sort of a day 2 A12

Actually it's a '70. Note the different front side marker lights and side trim.... 69 70 Looks like an XL or LTD

I like these kits. They make great slump busters or just a refreshing change of pace from more involved builds. Here's what I did with a Force and a Ramblur. Working on a Street Fury now. Glad ti hear they will be making a come back.

Greetings all, hope everyone and theirs is safe and well. Here is my latest build, finished it up yesterday. I started with this original screw bottom AMT '64 Mercury convertible that I've had hanging around here for a few years so I decided to see if I could do something with it...... After a swim in the purple lake, a little sanding and a spritz of Testors paint here we are... Thanks for checking it out and as always comments, questions and discussions are welcome and encouraged.

Thanks! Good catch there as that '60's "futuristic" styling was kind of what I was going for, like a factory concept.

Thanks. Mine were in my parts box but I'm sure they are the custom caps in the original AMT 1960 3 in 1 customizing kits.

Hi all, hope everyone and theirs are well. Here's my latest build, finished it up this morning... I started with this ebay original screw bottom old built up... After a little sanding and Testor's paint..... Thanks for looking, comments, questions and discussion always welcome!

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the good words on this build!

Hi all, hope everyone is well. Finished this one up this morning. It was an interesting and educational journey bringing this old Ford back but I had a lot of fun with it. Started with this original build up... Somehow ended up here... Thanks for looking! Comments and discussion always welcome.

Make it a combo kit with the Airstream.

Well done! Looks very serious.

Nice P-71. I totally dig those cars. I'd like find a clean one. I had an '04 Sport a while back. Sure was a PIA on the road when everyone around me slowed down including those in front of me. Was a lot of fun pulling into a convenience store , sure could tell who was "up to no good" LOL. Great cars, solid as a bank vault and fast.

How old was the sheet? Age and environment will do that to any decal sheet over time. At least that's my experience.

Well done. Sharp and clean.

Sharp!

Thanks. Yes. those and the fender unit are from the sedan kit.

Hi all! Hope everyone is well. Just finished this one up this morning. AMT kit with Gopher racing decals. Fenders are Tamiya clear over Testor's copper from the can. Body is Duplicolor Wimbleton White from the can polished with Mequiars' Scratch X. I really enjoyed this build and set a new personal record from box to shelf....8 Days. Thanks for checking it out, as always comments and discussion welcome and encouraged.. Whew...for some reason I crave a cold beer! ?

Good color for that car. Should look sharp when done.

Ok thank you David. Good info that. I'll keep an eye out for the kits and models you mentioned.

Hmmmmm...50's Rolls? Love those vintage Phantoms. Can you recommend a good 1/24-25 kit of one ? I'd like to build one too!

Your extra prep work really paid off here on this build. Sharp as tack!

Thanks all! I really appreciate all the good words here on this build. Here is a shot of the paint I used...if interested

Thank you!

Hi all, been working on this kit lately. I'm trying to replicate the one my Dad had circa 1961. It was almost identical to Dan Weiss' outstanding example. I ordered up some Cumberland Green and Colonial white from MCW to get correct colors for it. It's a nice kit but does have some fit issues here and there but nothing serious. Finished 'er up today. It was a fun yet challenging build. I really enjoyed the pleasant stroll down memory lane while building it. Thanks for looking, comments and discussion always welcome!
