Here are a number of views of Premium X's really nice 1/43 model of the always-popular Country Squire, Ford's classic big American station wagon. The final animation shows the hubcaps digitally substituted with some more standard ones off my 1/18 SunStar Galaxie 500.

@jkuvakas Great job with the digitally altered wheel covers. I have on occasion, if I can find good direct shots of wheel covers, printed them off and attached them to wheels with incorrect covers. Not three dimensional, but still look pretty realistic.

I have 3 different colors of this model which is very well done EXCEPT for the wheels; which is a shame.

Great photography, Mike. What was wrong with the original wheels?

For me it was simply because they weren't stock.

The city scene is a jaw-dropper for me. Keep 'em coming, always gives me a morning smile.

They still look good, Rich, although the digitally-inserted ones are perhaps more stock looking and would probably be more like what a typical '64 Country Squire might have driving around back then. LOL, I know on my family's 1965 Dodge Custom 880 wagon (383 2-bbl), when I got my license in '70-'71, I "upgraded" the hubcaps with substituted faux "muscle-car" plastic ones, LOL !
