@rich-sufficool Really nice pics Rich; I have many of these FM 1/43's, but not this one.     

I thought I read once that because FM contracted with multiple suppliers to produce their 1/43 series, quality & accuracy varied - some were better than others - this '58 Bird being one of them.   Perhaps you, Tony P., or John K. have further info.? 

(I'd say their 1951 Mercury was the worst  😔 😔) 

worst

Not as conversant with FM's 1/43rd line as with their 1/24th but, you're right; there WERE more than one vendor who made them for FM. This one, Camaro Convertible, is dated 1988 and was the hot model to get back then and that Merc was talked down on the boards.

Pardon the shots, I just took them in haste.

Thanks Tony.   

"1988!"   Yes sir, at THAT time - I can easily see how that '67 Camaro would've been a big deal.
