I have a thing for '55 & '56 Fords. Have owned a bunch of 1:1's over the years and of course kits of the same. Picked up this reissue to add to my ever growing car kit stash. I built it once before, I'll likely build this one too.

According to the post on FB, Atlantis says no Monogram or Aurora molds. That narrows it down some.

Nice work! Tempted to try this myself. Had a 1:1 '61 Starliner at one point. One of the few cars I regret selling.

Testors is going more after the soccer mom crowd with their "Crafternoon" campaign as seen on their Facebook page. I suspect to the bean counters there is a bigger return in catering to the folks painting napkin rings on a rainy Saturday afternoon with the kids than the people like us. The phasing out of Model Master has been in the works for some time. Those of us who build aircraft are still lamenting the loss of the military color line a year or so ago. I have a couple hundred bottles of Model Master I bought when an LHS closed down. Hopefully I'll be able to use them before they dry out. I read on the Fine Scale forum that Revell paint is coming to the states. I'm interested in trying those. I still use Floquil, Humbrol, and of course the square bottle Testors. If Testors continues to sell their line of spray paint, they need to update the nozzle. Like trying to paint a mailbox with a firehose.

First car build in 25+ yrs. Being built pretty much box stock to get my feet wet again! Everything is brush painted except the body which was rattle can with colors I had laying around.

Just getting back into the model car & truck side of the hobby after a long absence. Have been reading the various forums and it looks like a good group here. I've enjoyed reading the various posts!
