Here is a 1963 Ford Falcon, as done in 1/18 scale by Yat Ming. It is a really nice diecast and depicts the good-looking '63 Falcon very well.

Thanks, john, John and David. These are actually old images but I still have the Falcon and I think YM did a good job with this Ford.

I find it amazing how Yat Ming & Road Signature did so many really, really good models at relatively low prices.
I love that Falcon and the '64 model too.

...Maisto is still doing it. "Big-box-stores/high-volume" is paramount to their marketing/pricing strategy, and they're making the most of it. Most of their decent 1/18 "full function" diecast vehicles can be had for less than $30.00
I call that A BARGIN! 😀

Absolutely right Chris. I got a Lamborghini last year from Costco. I couldn't resist the color and price.

That model served as a custom modification of a diecast modifier named Damon Paterson. It replicates a project from Gas Monkey's TV show.
