Simply beautiful, as always!

I love it. The Tu-tone Green is perfect for that car. Did it come with those wire wheels? They look period perfect on that car.

I spent may hours riding in the back seat of my Grandparents 1960 Plymouth 4 Door Station wagon. It was a Light Brown, it was so long ago I don't remember if it was two colours or one. I know it was a Base Model Suburban, probably with the six, as my Grandfather was a Frugal Man.

I’m in awe of the BMF work in this one. Those 50’s and 60’s cars certainly had some bling on them! Foiling is something I’m still coming to grips with and the “blue tape” method you mentioned is something I plan on trying on my next build. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous 60 Plymouth, it makes me think of the opening scene of the Stephen King movie 'Christine' where all those 58 Plymouths are lined up for their final inspection. Really well done Steven and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers,

A real treat to see a classic Jo-Han model of a classic car and done by an exceptionally talented modeler and photographer. Your builds are simply awesome. Makes me feel guilty went i think of all the Jo-Han kits I thrashed when I was young. Thanks for sharing this built and not letting it unassembled in a box. A real  beauty.

Thanks Bill.

Have you considered trying the technique of using thin strips of blue painter's tape laid along the edges of the moldings after, (or before) the foil is applied to aid the cutting process?

I find that as I get older, and my eyes and eye-hand coordination declines, this technique helps immensely with getting a perfectly straight cut.

I use this trick on virtually every piece of trim on a model now.

Beats the hell out of trying to freehand the cuts.

Steve, first of all, fantastic job in making an outstanding model of this beautiful Mopar. I assume you hand-painted the badge on the rear fins? That looks perfect too!

Coming back on the above BMF subject, I would like to recommend the method of using selfmade, pre-cut BMF strips, at least where applicable. For such things as the trim on the roof or the upper side trim, this will work fine and it's practically free of any risk that is present when cutting anything on the body.
