Wow, Steve. Do you have inside access to MCM editorial? I compare the size of it to a 64 Impala in the article. Thats amazing!

I could tell you Scott but then ,, well,, you know. ?

Cool these are getting interest. A few threads on here. 
The Pierce, Duesy, and Packard are huge. Monogram Duesenberg length. Need 20-22” wheels to keep them looking normal with more modern tires. 
The Jordan, Bugatti, Mercer, and Stutz are closer to 64 Impala size. Mercer smallest, real car based on 289 Cobra but bigger than Monogram 1/24 427 Cobra. 

There are color flips, suspect for non painted variety. Likely molded in single colors and trees separated and mixed in packaging. 
Stutz was red over black, and also black over red. Duesy was dark tan over light tan, and vice versa. Mercer white over red and red over white. Bugatti was light blue over white and white over blue. Packard same with dark and medium green. Jordan’s were dark and light blue mixes. Only car I’ve not seen a flip is the Pierce. All seem to be maroon. 
 

I’ve got color flips of all unbuilt, and builders many one owner in progress. Updating to more modern running gear, fixing some details on a few, Bugatti especially. Fun kits.

Keyser, could you contribute that to my Renwal Revivals thread, maybe add some pix? I have compared the Pierce Arrow to Lindberg's Bugatti Royale and they are comparable!

[Scott Colmer]

Well, the sneak peek is OK'd, but not at this time. Stay tuned.

[Paul Payne]

Scott, really enjoying your articles in Model Cars Magazine showing your restoration and improvements to the Renwal Pierce Arrow!

[Scott Colmer]

Thanks for the shout out, Paul. I can say that I applied all the suggestions that I got from you and the other forum members who commented on the thread. I can't go into too much detail because I don't want to give up the story for the issue, but I can say, this one has snowballed. (Its my weakness) I am just getting to paint. The scheme will be one suggested by a forum member. Here's a sneak peak shot that will probably not make it into MCM.

Nice Rack!!

Only time I can say that and not get in trouble. Previews welcome if possible.
