By this time DM had finally found a vendor that could give them a pretty decent product. The paint still wasn't quite perfect with a touch of orange peel and the dog leg hinges were a bit intrusive, but the dash was 3-D, the radiator and mascot were beautifully rendered.. The top is nicely textures although if you noticed, I did give it a darker brown wash to accentuate the details. Engine detailing is basic but well done, and all in all, it's still a pretty impressive model.

DM was getting better and the Fiesta Red finish lacked the 'orange peel' of earlier models. The interior was a real standout despite the dog leg hinges and the enine bay. although lacking wiring, also revealed exceptional detail for the era.
