this is a vintage 61 ford falcon coupe screw bottom kit that was built when i got it from a friend i took it apart and redid it as a aussie 61 xk falcon which is a sedan
i posed a figure of myself which i resin printed and painted in a different colour outfit next to it
the rims and tires and the door handles came from my parts boxes
i resin printed the rhd dash which i created by using a photo of the actual dash piece which i uploaded to a image to 3d model generator
i painted the body a base coat of eastup high performance wheel paint imitation silver plating and a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint molybdenum red
i painted the interior rust-oleum 2x flat black primer
i redid the bumpers and rims with rust-oleum bright coat aluminum
i used silver sharpie for the exterior and interior trim
i had the modern victoria plate decals custom made

Hi Michelle. These are cool cars, these old Falcons. Yours is a great build. The Victorian plates are a nice touch. Nice work. 👍🏻

Nice job, Michelle.  You really have the knack for these Aussie classics.  If you ever get the chance to buy the AMT  Falcon Ranchero kit  that came with the NHRA Nationals decals, blue box with a white car,  it includes the correct XK grille.  Only the XK Falcon shared its grille with the American car.  All other early Falcons, XL, XM and XP had unique to Australia grilles.  The American grille you have used is similar to, but not the same as, the XM grille.

Cheers
