    Just great Steven! It looks even better in these larger photos. Here's mine before foiling. It's nearly done now.

    Here's a plain and simple build. I built one exactly like this, sold it and then missed it, so I built another. The white is polished plastic. The only paint on the body is the roof. No clearcoat used. As usual, I bare metal foiled the trim, and did some detailing. Some of the old plastic has a nice rich look to it when polished and this is one example. I've never had a problem with the color changing over time like it can on many of the earlier kits and I've done a number of them this way. I've also done this on many of the old Monogram and Johan kits that were molded in colors other than white. Many of you know by now that I like 4 door cars and station wagons and most of my builds are old original issue kits. I hope you enjoy seeing this one. I'm almost done with my 60 Edsel restoration so it will be coming. Thanks for looking and I appreciate all comments and questions. -Rich

    Another beauty, Steven! It looks great from all angles. You did a superb job! Great paint and detail work.

    Very nice, John. I really like the colors you chose. As you know, these are not the easiest kits to build. You did a fine job. It's great to see it. I built a bunch of these 55 and 56 Revell kits back in the 80's when I was building for a living. I still have a lot of NOS unbuilt ones as well as a few I built and a number of the original hobby shop display built-ups. Considering when they were issued, they are really great kits.

    Three more winners, Steve. Thanks for posting them. They look great together. I'm working right now on finishing a 60 Edsel and will have a 59 coming along hopefully before too long.

    That's great Dave. Kids like him are the future of this hobby! -Rich

    Mike, this is one fantastic looking model. Great paint, foil work, and attention to details. The engine looks superb as does the whole model. I agree about the paint color-I love it and also the interior. Great photos too, thanks for posting.

    Thanks again Eric. Thank you Robert, I love the old Johans too. The body accuracy is great on them.

    Thank you Dave, I appreciate it. Great photo there under your name!

    Thank you Eric. All the Revell 62 1/25 kits had the clear headlight lenses. They do add to the realism.

    It's newer than what I usually build but it got my attention. The details, colors, and build quality are striking!

    Greg, very nice work. You did a fine job on the conversion. I have quite a few police cars in a variety of scales.

    I don't blame you for leaving it, Howard. It looks great just as it is. It's funny, I have 4 or 5 NOS 62 Plymouths but have not built one since I was a kid and I have a real one in the garage.

    Thanks Larry.

    Thanks, I love Imperials too. I have a few more to build when I get around to it.

    Thanks Ken, Doyle, and Tom. I'll be posting more soon.

    Thanks for your kind words.

    I appreciate your comments David and Gerald. Thank you Mario. As you know, I build mostly early original issue kits. I do a lot of restorations but use NOS kits from my stash when necessary (like the 59 Olds I'm building). I have 4-500 NOS unbuilt kits and also enjoy opening one once in a while just to look it over and enjoy the memories.

    Steven, I've seen this one before and it is absolutely beautiful-colors, paint, trim, interior-everything. Your photos are great too. I never tire of seeing models like this.

    Very nice, Bill. I like these old woodies. When the price is right I don't mind cleaning and replacing a few parts. I've bought many that look far worse than this one.
