This one is a bit sensitive to my comment because I owned the MC 1949 Riviera way back years ago when I sold my collection. It is pretty much as sharp as the MC but the latter is still the best if you can find one at an affordable price.
Furthermore, I completely restored an original 1:1 to concours condition back in 2000's and I really know what they are about.
The TSME seems pretty much based on the old FM with some upgrades that make look sharper than the MC for many reasons: The chrome trim looks better, the antenna is up and the hood ornament is rendered as standing three dimensional better than on 1/24 FM . It is supposed to be guiding you on as the real one but it is still a little bit crooked but barely noticeable in the scale. The "Dynaflow" scripts are foiled and not tampoo and all individual chrome trim parts are also very sharp. I just remember driving for so many years this magnificent ride every time I take this model in my hands.

Here is my blue version, very close to Calvert Blue Poly with a Cumberland Gray roof.
