Another beautiful model! I’d be very pleased to have this one on my shelf. Your mild dissatisfaction with it is yours alone, but I guess that’s what keeps us striving for more on each model. Superbly finished and foiled, and you always nail the colour choices. 
I was surprised to see the separate clear headlight lenses Revell included in this kit-pretty advanced for the time.

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

Thanks Rich. That's my son Max. He's 6 now, and has loved model cars since he could crawl. This is a truck we built together to his specs.

Rich, you're not too happy with that build? I can't see why, it looks fantastic to the detail, and the kit captures well the eccentric Exner-era styling of the Imperial; right down to the sparrow strainer taillights. A+.

A great choice for a kit buildup (I don't remember ever seeing one completed until now) and terrific work on paint detailing and trim, too.  Big congrats from this corner!   TIM

Turned out nice.  Exceptional foiling work.
