57 Fairlane aka Happy wife, Happy life!

So as the title states, this was a build she picked out, and picked the colors. I did the factory red engine color for 57, (Tamiya Red- looked close enough to Ford Red)  

This car took a strip bath twice before she settled on the purple.  I enjoyed this build, and if I get another, I will do a two-tone for it. 

Without further ado:

Came out nice. One of my favorite kits!

It really did, the front grill was a bit wonky but as far as ease of assembly I'd say 7.5 out 10, just minor things. I'll build this again for sure.

The purple looks great, nice clean build 👍

Like the paint color and a great looking finish. Despite these kits age it is still a good base to work with and only the door hinges can be the only stumbling block.

Thanks!! This went together really nicely.   And the hinges were a touch tricky, but wasn't too bad.
