(Pics) 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT
This is Yat Ming's '66 Cyclone GT convertible as done in Jamaican Yellow. It was a very well done diecast in the YM tradition, and hopefully the current owner of the Yat Ming tooling will release additional 1/18ths from the vast selection.

I agree. Thnx Mike.

PIC - Great photos, as usual. That car was the basis for this one...
Yat Ming didn't make a hardtop so I used the top from a GMP Fairlane and fit it to the convertible.

What a great conversion!

You know....... you really should cast some resin body copies. I'll bet you could cash in on eBay.
Love this vintage "funny car." You did a good job making it a credible reproduction.

I wish there were aftermarket PE badging and scripts for those YMs

Thanks ! Your hardtop conversion always looks terrific and since YM only tooled for a convertible, the hard work of this kind of fine conversion is the only way to get a hardtop.

Maybe if Lucky Diecast releases this one again as part of their YM tooling, perhaps someone may do some aftermarket ones.
