yep...you are wrong. The 66 Ford brochure clearly shows and describes them.

"For me, a quick e-mail to the seller has always cleared that up. I'd chalk it up as an honest mistake unless the seller replies to the contrary." yep...better to deal directly with the seller to solve such problems. Seems to have done the trick this time too.

You might want to read the ad you linked....oddly enough, it answers your very question.

Please do not encourage this nonsense...we don't need more threads like these.

Revell describes the current issue (and likely other issues) as having a vinyl textured top. An odd mistake for them to make but....it's not too likely they would have removed it. Perhaps that's where I got the idea it had one? Anyway..I'm pleased to hear it doesn't A modified re-issue as a series 62 or a Coupe de Ville would be very nice to have.

I think it was a vinyl textured surface...tho I could be wrong about it being on the first issue. Either way, thanks for the reply...

Does this issue come with the textured roof?

This is the most inconsistant site I visit...but 80% of the time it's just fine,and when it's not, it's only mildly annoying. I've no reason to complain..just sharing with this post.

looks great..one of the better noses I've seen

Me too...is he serious?

Thanks!

Perfect! where'd the wide fives (wheels) come from?

looks great...fun to see one built to current "standards".

That's what you get for messing with late model cars (no pun intended), Paul.

Old easily found kits at (near) collector prices...no thanks!

Such a strange thread.....with such limited knowledge of the subject,what is your point? Perhaps you should consider asking questions instead of posting inaccurate info?

ALL of the early Mercurys were V8s. (real ones and models) The Hirohata Merc was a 1951. The AMT kit was tooled in the early 60s..so you're almost right about that. As to the rest of your post...well never mind.

Interesting post..kinda. The AMT kit contains a stock flathead and a Chrysler wedge engine, NO Cadillac engine. It's the Revell kit(S) that have (only) a Cadillac engine. The "lead sled" comment is also incorrect......

I'm glad this one has a stock body....

The "proportional problems" are in the Foose design...this is a radically modified F100 and anyone unfamiliar with the Foose truck but knows what a 56 F100 should look like may well be very disappointed. I wish they'd choosen a stock bodied F100 instead....

Just can't get past the "watermarks"...too bad you couldn;t share your model without them.

very nice!

both cars are very nice but the 15 car is my favorite of the two....

This has been a fascinating thread..... perhaps the "Chinese" found faults with the kits like many of us did? A powerful Model A restorer club that can't tolerate hot rods got someone's ear? or maybe simply an accident in a factory that damaged the shared parts? as mentioned above the "plans" surely still exist,make 'em here I'm sure many of us would pay the premium for a made in the USA kit.

I'm still disappointed that we finally we get a updated 56 F100... but it cant be built stock. Why did it "have" to be a Foose-mobile? A 2n1 or multiple versions would have been so much better.
