'59 Ford Retractable Hardtop

[ATHU]

Hello Guys!

Just completed Revells 59 Ford Fairlane Skyliner with a working retractable hardtop. It's a very old kit

with a multi-piece body but still very nice and I had a lot of fun putting it together.

Thanx for checking it out!

Nice Job! Very unique build.

My complements on getting the roof to operate, that is no easy task. Beautiful looking paint finish and two-tone color combination.

Not an easy kit Anders, yet you make it look like a modern kit. Your Paint job and color are spot on. Awesome work.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Very nice.

Beautiful Ford!  Very well done.

[Sledsel]

You did a really nice job on it. I actually like this kit a lot, just takes patience.

[Street Rod]

Beautiful build! The pictures look like they were from a brochure back in the day. Two thumbs up!

[Yeah Nah]

Top marks on getting that tricky roof retract to operate! LOVE that paint and finish.

Holy cow that looks amazing ?

Wow, that paint really stands out on what is an absolutely stunning build! I picked up one of those kits at a show last year, and I do plan on building it. You definitely have a contest winner there (probably a "Best In Show" candidate)!

Anders, this is just perfect - the paint finish, the detailing and your presentation: show-room quality!

I have bult this one also back in the 80's (kit had no stock hubcaps) - not easy but the roof mechanism though crude as it is, does work indeed (albeit the roof shows a kink when closed)
