Fiddy 7 Merchero. This was my first attempt at a Resin kit! It is from Modelhause. As all of you know,(That have ever worked Resin), they can be challenging at the very least. Having said that, this was no exception. It wasn't too bad, but it did have a few little quirks! I had to section the frame just a tad because the wheels didn't fit the wheel wells properly and the interior and glass needed a little help to fit properly. All in all, I believe Modelhause puts out the best in the market.

Interesting to note that Ford Canada actually produced a Canada-only 1957 Mercury Meteor Ranchero, with different side trim and fins that were more akin to the Ford Ranchero.

Awesome subject and a very clean build. I did a conversion of the Modelhaud 59 Olds 98 to a Super 88 years ago and I have to agree that they put out some of the finest resin available.

Not a Mercury Meteor. A Meteor Ranchero yes. Sold through your Mercury-Lincoln-Meteor dealer. They did sell Mercury trucks through these dealerships too. But, the Ranchero was a Meteor only (with a Ford version at your Ford-Monarch dealer, of course). Not a Mercury.
