Last week MAR online published my article about Conquest Models. This is the first part where I have observed models Nr1- 6. The second part is ready and here I plan to review Nr7- 20. Unfortunately, I don't have all photos for illustrations. I have images of Nr. 8,9,10, 11, 12, 14a, 17, 20 but no pictures of Nr 11a, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19.

If anybody has these models in collection and have an opportunity to make photos please share with them in this topic. It will be a great support of the future SMTS collector guide.

Here is a picture of Conquest Number 16, 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Starmist Blue and white.  The car is in a Sinclair gas station diorama.  If you want, I cat take another photo with a Chicago area photo background or with a plain light color background.

I enjoyed your article.

@whodeytink I agree. Over the years I bought many Conquest and Madison models from Dave Sinclair, Bob Hooper and Buz Kirkel.

I did some playing around with my smartphone. These might be better pictures for the 1957 Thunderbird, CON 16. Also, it did come in different colors, including all black and white with blue top.

Many thanks everybody for photos. The models by the Conquest range are magnificent. Part 2 is in production and I hope when it is published you'll enjoy reading.

Here is number 11a. Unfortunately I don't have any photos with the mirrors and hood ornament installed, and I no longer have the model to retake the photos. Hope that helps!
