....I couldn't resist a few pics of "SS-100-X"  with "The Beast."     Sadly, no flags are included...  and I think it's funny that OC-HEC can photo-etch and apply 1/64 chrome "Continental"  scripts to the rear quarters but the round "Presidential Seals,"  seen on the interior of the rear door panels, are illegible, they're very blurry.    🙄 🙄

JFK 64 2   Copy

The Beast is pretty big even in 1/64th! Great detailing everywhere on those two. Thanks for this Chris!

Maybe the Seal is illegible because 

"The Presidential Seal is not protected by copyright, but federal law strictly prohibits its commercial use, manufacture, or display in a way that implies government endorsement."??

@whodeytink Perhaps......   but I have about a dozen OTHER models in which "the seal"  is clear, crisp, and legible.    😏    IMO, the 1/64 printing is just down-right bad! 

SEAL 1
SEAL 3
SEAL 4
SEAL 2

@chris I see what you mean.  It could be the others are in violation but not enough of an issue for anyone to worry about.  I'm sure no expert.

GOC did a really nice job on the '60s Lincoln Presidential Limo. I'm not into presidential limos but I would love to see them do this year in a standard Lincoln road car.

@lloyd-mecca I own all the models & figures you see and I snapped all the pics you see.    Nothing is "copied & pasted."     😉 😉

@lloyd-mecca THANK YOU very much!  😀    Later today, I'll print it or perhaps (for greater clarity & sharpness if needed ) I'll develop a 1/64 water-slide decal.     Thanks again, it really is the "icing on the cake!"
