This is such a GREAT 1/43 model. I know nothing's perfect but I wish those headlights were....

?"less dull" and that hood ornament was a bit smaller. Still though, neither is a deal breaker. Simply a beautiful scale replica! Blue or red...you can't go wrong!

Great photos John, especially with the natural background. Suits the model to a "T"

The detail is impeccable. Only the type of vehicle is keeping me a looker.

The only reason I haven't snagged one yet is the flat taillight lenses, with that circle in the center. They look like what we'd have seen back in the day on mild customs---a flat lens with a blue dot center. If the taillights had the correct depth and protruding center like those seen on Brooklin's new '53 Customline sedan, I'd have the blue Country Squire on my shelf right now.

As it is, I just can't get past those taillights. Otherwise a beautiful wagon. Nice photos as always, John.

Hard to tell whether this is the Goldvarg 1:43rd scale model or the actual car.

Great pictures, John. Goldvarg has raised the bar for accuracy in resin models.

Agree with you 100% about the flat tailights on the Country Squire.

Goldvarg Ford

Yes, the lights are too flat but the other problem is the chrome piece below the hood is two wide, but Mr Goldvarg please make a 1952 grill and park lamps and you can use that wide chrome piece on the 52 car as it would be just right.
