I think it looks great but PLEASE loose the exhaust pipes and make them like factory. They did not show out the back like this.
Here is what the back should be like. pretty much unseen.

Dear John, the exhaust pipes are very easy to modify. Thanks for the advice!

Sergio, the model looks great. Is it possible to change the wheels to the sport wheels as shown in Curtis' pictures? These were very popular in the late sixties and seventies.

They both look great, excellent colors. I had a '70 version when I was a teenager, so these models are a must have for me.

Sergio, Thank You for listening. I have loved these cars since new and you are making one of them in the color I like the most! Should be a superb seller.

Nicely done. The yellow one is the color for me.

Please examine the front bumper carefully.
I may be seeing things incorrectly because of the angles of the photos. But it looks to me like the front bumper has a dip below the grilles. If so, that is wrong. It should be flat in that plane. I have attempted to show that with the red line on the attached photo. The bumper does have a peak in the center when viewed from above.

Also note, as has been mentioned already, the exhaust exits in the rear are all wrong for the wagon. Exits come out the side, just behind each rear wheel opening. This allowed them to not conflict with the spare tire well which should be on the right side. The forward placement also prevents them from scraping on a modest incline. Hard to see in this pic from imcdb, but it is there, just behind the rear wheel.
