Nice pics Galen of one of the better "low end" models out there. With some detailing and proper interior re-work, these Fords can look even better. The "basics" are there, nice body work, in scale, all opens, decent chrome...and an "up-top" is available (if you pirate the 1950 release). What's not to love?
I modified one into a 60's style AWB gasser years ago:

Have to agree with Chris, one big miss is the lack of alignment pins for the top on the upper edge of the windshield.

Kudos to you for the staging and the great photos. This '49 Ford isn't bad for a low price Maisto. I wish the grill were better because it's way off. But, the expectation for a low-cost model isn't that high.
