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?

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