nearsightedjohn Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Beautiful job on and excellent kit. I built the Rio Rancho wagon version of this kit a few years ago and everything kit together so well and the finished model just “looked right” (realistic, accurate proportions). Your build makes me want to build a stock or early drag gasser version of this sedan kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosezi Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Great build! one question is there interior parts for Stock version? or it's impossible to build it as a stock Ford? Thanks! Edited May 19, 2022 by Sosezi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Fireball is an interesting nickname for a driver.😀 Lovely model and the colouring is great. Nice one.👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 That is a stunning build Jes @Touvdal, sorry I missed it first time around, I'm pleased it has received a well deserved resurrection. It is certainly a change of pace from you. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! There is a stock version available, I have one. I intend to make a convertible out of it. My friend had one, and I collected it and drove it home across London in the rush hour 50 years ago. Great fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend had one, and I collected it and drove it home across London in the rush hour 50 years ago. Great fun. Depending on how nit-picky you are, there are a couple of potential problems with that: the Revell kit is a basic Custom 300, which wasn't offered as a convertible. Also, being a sedan, it has a higher roofline and a taller windscreen than the Fairlane 500 hardtops and convertibles. There are also some issues with the Revell body around the wheel arches where the old AMT '57 is more accurate... All things considered, the venerable AMT '57 Fairlane would be a better starting point for a convertible. Nice build OP. I have a stock one in the stash (and three AMTs 😶), will get to them one day.
