Great looking paint work, very smooth and glossy. Nicely detailed trim. Did this kit have the optional Continental Kit that would have been glued to the trunk lid ?  I notice something about the rear bumper, and I don't think it is anything you've done wrong. I wonder if Lindberg shaped the bow in the rear bumper to clear the Continental Kit. .

Great build!  Excellent paint and assembly, too!

[bbowser]

That is gorgeous!  Clean work all around.

[peekay]

That's nice!

Very pretty Vicky, that color looks great on it.  I have a few of these in my stash, 2 hardtops, 2 converts, one resin 4dr, and a couple of zip-lock bags of parts from a model show.  So far I have completed one convertible and have another in work.

Very nice! That paint almost has a hammer tone look to it. I like it.

I think most people on here would agree that you've got the accuracy and clean assembly aspects of model building down pat, which is why I enjoy checking out your posts.  This Ford has all the hallmarks of your usual building style, but I'm curious about your description of the main paint color. 

I Googled several images of kits painted with MM Turquoise Metallic and couldn't find one that matched what you've posted here.  This pic is from the Hobbylinc site next to their listing of MM Turquoise Metallic.

IMHO, your Ford looks like it was painted with MM Mystic Emerald, while the dash and other parts of the interior appear to be painted a lighter green. 

All that said, none of this takes away from the great job you've done on this build, and I look forward to seeing  your next project.

Hi Ludwig,

I took new photos which show the real quality of the "Turquoise Metallic" spray:

And some pics taken outdoor this afternoon:

Beautiful model!

That's a beauty.

Since I don't know much about the vagaries of photography, I hope you won't mind a question. What factors might've contributed to the difference in hue between the first batch of pics and the ones posted yesterday? 

The car looks great regardless, which should come as no surprise.  Put a good kit in the hands of a great builder and watch what happens.

Beautiful build! The natural light really makes her pop!
