Seems these co's always seem to get a few of the details wrong. The old AMT's were always more correct than these chinese castings. You would think they would at least ask someone familiar with the year/model they are making to proof them.

Hey Ron, what details are wrong? We can try to fix it on the next one. 
There are limitations at one 1/64 scale and tooling limitations. 
Just be happy I cared enough not to do a hardtop.

I asked for a bunch already.  I think we have about a month before they show up.  Currently mix 3 is hitting shelves.  This will be the next mix.

Abe, I was actually refering to the 1/18 Skyliner which has the heater blower on the wrong side of the firewall. Most of the Franklin and Bradford models have some glaring mistakes especially considering the price they ask. That 1/64 model looks great for the small scale.

SkylineRon- that would bug me to no end also. 

we took a look at a few kits for ours and Ford has been really picky on sculpt approvals lately.

I really keep thinking on how to do a 1/64 moving top Retractable bit alas too many small parts.

Abe,  It would be hard to syncro all the small parts. Ford barely fit it all in a full size car!

Have any of you Mass. guys found a store that is selling them?
