Maxicoop Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 my STOCK Ford Fairlane..... hope you like it.......... Thanks for looking.....
madhorseman Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I do like it, paint looks great and nice foil work as well.
Watertown Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Very nice. It must have taken a very deft hand to apply the silver paint so crisply to all that brightwork. Nicely done.
unclescott58 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Ron, I love it. And I'm glad to see not everybody has given up on AMT's old '57 Fairlane since Revell came out with their '57 Ford. Sure Revell's '57 is a superior kit to AMT's some 50 year old kit. But, the old one is still not a bad kit, that can be built quite nicely as shown by your build here Ron. I have one stored away I need to get to some day. When I do mine, I'll be going with a Red and Black two-tone. I only hope it turns out half as well as yours. Scott

Scott thanks Scott, glad you like it ........I have three more put away on my "to do list" not sure what I'm going to do with those only time will tell.....

Maxicoop Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 thanks everyone for all your comments I really enjoy reading them ............
Maxicoop Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 I do like it, paint looks great and nice foil work as well. Roy, not foil, it's paint I did this one old school like when I was young and we didn't have foil....
Guest Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Very nice, but foil is badly needed. Silver paint just is not convincing chrome.
Ron Hamilton Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 My, My, My, that looks familiar. I love that color combo.

Scott I'll bet everybody has at least one of these in their stash. When I get to mine, it's going to be painted "Silver Mocha" & "Colonial White". Good Job on an ancient kit Ron! Steve
Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I just love this kit. Built many of them already. The one that's 100% stock I built in Raven Black single tone. Liked your build, just would had used foil tough. Before I even knew Bare Metal existed, I used aluminum household foil and white glue. To be 100% honest, it still produces a better chrome than BMF, that is more and more "orange peeled" these days.

bbowser Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Nice color combo, looks like you got the doors to fit pretty well.
Helix Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Good job Ron, I've got the same kit in my stash (AMT) just no idea how I'm going to build mine
