In the previous topic which I started I made photos of my collection of Mercurys. A couple days ago I recrived the 1965 Mercury Colony Park by Goldvarg from AliExpress. Frankly speaking I don't collect resin models but unfortunately white metal and diecast manufacturers aren't active anymore and no opportunity that they will fill many gaps. After a failure with the 1969 Lincoln Continental by GLM which is rubbish I felt anxiety for the Colony Park. AliExpress sells many damaged models and I have no opportunity to buy original models on mu area because most of Fords, Lincolns and Mercurys have been already sold out in other countries.
This Colony Park has some defects but it was the best condition among other items. In any case this is a good model which fills signigicant part in my collection and i hope that its trim elements will survive.

Sometimes allowances have to be made, to fill a spot in a collection. On the surface it appears you did very well, with this one.

I find it interesting that you don’t mention what you perceive to be any issues with this model.

@100ford2003 This item has a little defect of the photo-etched luggage on the roof and painting problem in the center of the rear bumber. This was the best offer because other items had significant painting defects of the bodies but they were cheaper. I paid for this model 100 dollars. If I understand correctly this isn/t official issue because has no badge with the name and totla production on the podium.
