Not my usual scale, but when it popped up on American Excellence at 60% off a couple of months ago, I couldn't resist. Finally got around to unboxing this absolute beauty!

I have this very well done model. I miss the BOS models since American Excellence is shutting down.

Nicely done curbside resin model. Interesting choice of a 4 door hardtop. I managed to find a reissued promo of a 4 door Fireflite  sedan and detailed it out. I love the deluxe exhaust extensions on yours. Mine are just aluminum tubing.

That looks great, Rich!

The BoS 1/18 is a Firedome Seville, the lowest trim level.

@moe-parr "Seville", eh? I couldn't quite read it on the model. I don't think I've ever heard of that model. Thanks for the info.

Yes, the higher trim level Firedome was the Sportsman. Kind of like my 1955 Chrysler Windsor 2-door hardtop, mine is the fancier Newport while the lower-trim was the Nassau.
