Revell's ancient kit.

Not seen many of these built, I think because of the complexity of the roof. Great looking paint and the colors do look like 1959. Nice clean looking trim.

Nicely done. 

[Zippi]

Great looking 59 Ford.  Love the color.

You did a great job !  So much better than the one I built once upon a time. Not a very easy kit.

[Classicgas]

Thanks guys. Yeah it's a challenging kit for sure but so worth it. Not likely to ever see a new tool 59 Ford.

I like that you can't even tell it's a multi-piece body! The colors just scream 50s. Great job.

[Street Rod]

Beautiful model, love the colors!

[Classicgas]

Thanks guys.

Very nice looking model and the color combination is a great choice for this car and era. Well done!  ?

Great job on it! The colors look great. Goes to show these old kits can be built up as long as you have the patience for them

Very nicely done, Lee. A beautiful build of an old and challenging kit. I attempted one in my teens but never finished it. I have another in the stash, and someday hope to conquer that kit. Yours is an inspiration.

Lee, that is an absolutely stunningly beautiful build. It’s a finicky old kit, but when one puts the care and craftsmanship into it that you have, it turns out pretty dang special. For all of it’s headaches, it’s a kit that I truly enjoy. So much so that I added another to the stash shortly after I built one. I notice you re-hinged the lid for the top and filled in the hideous rectangular holes in the tail panel. Kudos on that! Great color choice and foil job as well.

 Thanks guys. The 59 Ford is my all-time favorite car. I hoped to do it justice. I eventually want to do another and hopefully do better.

[Craig Irwin]

great looking job, I like the hinges on the rear deck.

Looks amazing

Excellent build up ! Is this one of the more recent issues? I've been thinking about building one, but I'm not sure if I should pursue an earlier issue -- unless the castings/moulds are in good condition?

I, too, love the '59s -- '58 and '59 are my favourites, too, followed by the 1960.

[Truckdriver]

Well done on a very difficult kit Lee!

[XYHARRY]

Well done Lee. What a beautiful car, and that colour combination is classic.

Cheers, David. ??

Thanks guys. This was the skip's fiesta drive inn release.

[H.A.K]

Nice.

The kit maybe old but you did a superb job on it. Making all the roof parts fit together must have been some work. I wish I could get my hands on one.

[Classicgas]

Thanks. I skipped the working roof. Way too fiddly.

[crazyjim]

Awesome build.

[Classicgas]

Thanks.
