Great looking weathering and general distress of the body, paint and interior. Very realistic looking finishes. A lot of fine detailing extras on the mechanical as well as interior.

Tires and engine look great. Sade loss of the cab, but one advantage is you can just print another one.

A real gangster looking car. Like the bullet hole decals on the side, that used to be a thing.

Years ago, while working in a service station, we used to hand out the key to the restrooms wired to a short block of a 2X4. Never lost the key after that and the wire made it easy to hang up on the wall in the office.

Might checkout Round 2. They offer several different tire packages that were originally done by AMT and they have expanded them to include several more but still using the AMT as a brand. One of the tire kits that you might want to look at are the wide white passenger car tire offerings. They offer a set of four in a standard 6.70x15 listing and a set of 8.20x15 as well. Whether or not they are Firestones I don't recall but they have started offering Firestone RWL tires in addition to the Good Years that they have had. I have used their tires and have been very pleased with their fit on kit wheels and the overall appearance of the tire. As usual quality products.

Beautiful looking paint finish and interior. Clean looking body trim. We actually saw one this color even just yesterday when we were out.

This is an Industrial Strength looking truck. Looks like one of the fleet colors Ford offered at that time. Great looking paint finish, not overly shinny. The chrome trimmed bumper and grill look good. The tires even look like the old Firestone Suburbanite tread design.

Every state I have lived in until moving to Kansas required both front and rear plates and that seems to be common for the most part. When we moved here, we were deciding whether to live on the Kansas side of the state line or Missouri. The license plate issue was actually part of the decision when we were deciding. You're not alone when it comes to not liking a front license plate.

The paint looks so nice that you don't notice the warping you mentioned at first. Very cleanly built and looks great if you don't mention the issue.

Great looking paint finish and interior. Cleanly detailed chassis and engine. Big advantage of the larger scale is the features like the T-Tops, Doors, and dash details are easier to display.

Careful with the lift and tire diameters. Get them too tall and it will limit your attack angles across the face of the terrain.

Both of these look-like good options for license plates with one exception, there is only one plate per state and most states require a matching license plate for both ends of a vehicle. Still, better than what is often seen in many kits and does offer a wider number of states to use.

Great looking build. Very realistic looking to the movie car. Just what two undercover cops need to drive around LA in.

Great looking truck and a great idea for your 1:1 build. The paint color will look good on this body style. Your attention to the details and appearances of the different components all look realistic for your future truck build. The wheels remind me of something GM offered as an option on 4X4 trucks and Blazers with the OEM 10:00 x 15 tires. Like how you did the hood vents.

Great looking paint and interior. Like how you corrected the rear body panel. Whoever made this kit just used the rear from a convertible or coupe as you pointed out. The body trim and bumpers al look good and the white walls look good on this. This body style was one of Fords better ideas.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the cleanly done body trim.

Sorry to hear about the plastic body issues. I ran into the same thing stripping the paint on an older kit from the original era of this Corvette and the same thing happened. I understand that there have been a few changes in the makeup of the styrene that is used through the years.

All the makings of a great diorama. Get some beach attired 1/25th models as well.

Like the countryside. Enjoy seeing cars and trucks that we don't get here, and the different styles.

They are both great looking Impalas. The hub caps look almost like a plus sized allow wheel designed to look like the OEM SS hub caps. Someone has some serious money tied up here.

My thinking is that until Revell issued the latest '55 Chevy Bel Air hardtop, '56 Chevy 210 & Nomad as well as the '57 Chevy 150, Black Widow, and Bel Air two door sedan and Convertible the only other really correct tri-five would be the last issues of the AMT Bel Air hardtop with the open trunk.

The chassis on these vehicles are worth displaying without the bodies. They are a mechanical work of art.

Beautiful looking paint finish and I think Ford called that "Calypso Coral". The factory style striping all looks great. The chrome trim and engine detailing are cleanly done.

Like the not often seen paint color choice. The detailing of the engine, interior and body vents are all cleanly done. Great looking build.

Great looking color. The nice thing about the Revelle roadster and fast back is that you could put the parts from both kits in a box with a little glue, shake and pour out just about any combination you can think of.
