I believe that Charger is going to be a must have.

What color is the third Charger pic?  I don't recognize it.  Maybe bronze poly?

All three are excellent models; Charger is a priority for me.

That 3rd Charger may be a stab at "Buckskin Tan," which, under certain lights, comes close. I like it. But, I've always ahd a soft spot for Copper/Orange and Turquoise cars.

They look great except the Charger's rims appear a bit large, and the wide-whites on the '63 are not factory correct.    Yes, yes...  some couldn't care less, others will agree, but that's my 2 cents. 

Of course, all should be excellent sellers - as they're really not currently represented well or not at all in 1/43, right?       Nice color selections too.  😎

@chris, I notified GLM about the tires. If it's not too late, I'm sure they will make a change. Here's the brochure for '63,

Great to see the first generation Charger - have always been drawn to first-generation muscle cars, and very much looking forward to this one.

@chris Chris I agree with both of your points.

@bob-jackman ...yeah, thanks - kind of obvious.   😔   Removing the whitewalls helps, but.....

@chris Based on your pictures, the top looks too low as well.

@bob-jackman Hmmm.... now that you mention it.    Maybe it's not the roof (because the windshield & vent window look about right ) but perhaps the quarter window is too small?    🤔 🤔 🤔

I think it's all the silver paint and trim. From this angle, with contrasting colors, both seem to be fine.

The side chrome trim on the 1953 Cadillac is three different shades. This doesn't look good. Furthermore, the trim on the rear window is mostly black with too much emphasis on the weatherstrip.

I may be wrong in my observations but I hope these issues will be corrected before production.
