PICS - for 1960-63 Ford Falcon lovers
I managed to track down my own handbuilt, white metal South African made Milestone Miniatures Falcon (No 2). White on yellow, Its a nicely-detailed and pretty well-proportioned model that goes back 27+ years, I believe. The windows have a bit of an amber cast and the ride height needs adjustment, but I like it:

Before I found it, I had purchased the nearest thing to it that I could find - a Trax (of Australia) Falcon XK. This dark grey version too is quite a nice model and has substantial heft, almost like a white metal handbuilt. It is very well done. However, I think I will likely put it up on the Diecast Zone auction because I don't need two Falcons.

I think it looks very authentic. It is actually more precisely detailed than the Milestone with straighter lines and better applied trim. A very nicely executed diecast model.

Nice Randy...
looks like yours has a red interior? I have this one as well but, the interior is orange, which in my opinion is atrocious!

Thanks, Peter. I think red was offered but orange....perhaps it faded in the Aussie sun?
