1957, and eleven year old me lived next to a Boeing engineer, who had just got a '57 Ford Town & Country wagon from Boeing for getting the new 707 jet passeger plane finished (all the engineers got a new Ford). I loved that car. The '57 Chev had been my fave until that Ford wagon. Chris, your buld is impressive and the option choices are spot on - for me. I can still remember riding in the back facing third seat, waving at the cars behind us. Thank you so much for this beauty build. I'm building one ASAP ! ! !

pretty excited myself to get this build underway and now i got a video i can reference if i get stuck. wish me luck its the first one since ive been an adult and well we all know how they went as kids hahaha
@SNOWMANEGAMING6 ай бұрын
needless to say its not going perfect but its giving me this sense of achievement ive never felt before and i love it. i will ask though what glue are you using. mine isnt that easy to apply as its in a tube with a tip and not a brush

Chris I love your builds. I have been watching you for five years now. I watch you while I am building myself. I have a suggestion for you. If you decide to ever replace your spray booth. Try lining it with wax paper. That way you can control all the over spray and keep it cleaner. I'm going to build a large booth to do my semi's in. Thar is what I'm going to do for mine. Like I said it's just a suggestion. Love your builds and will always be a fan.

We had a '57 Plymouth wagon when I was a kid; so proud we didn't have to lift up the heavy rear glass like those '57 GM 2 piece rears still had. We pushed a button. Plus...'57 Mopars plain looked cool. Outstanding build here. People don't know these were real 2 tones of the day, I remember black and pink Buicks, turquoise and dark green Olds, and absolutely red and black Fords. 👀

An ideal companion piece for the various Nomad wagon model kits available, looks great, but the location of the sprue attachment points on the wipers and the door handles have me a bit nervous, because the wipers on my Revell Mustang LX coupe broke and were unsalvageable owing to that. Thankfully I had another kit I had scrapped whose wipers fit the bill.

I bought the original Monogram version of this model about 2016 (kit# 85-4193). I have been slowly assembling it ever since. I'm building it as the straight stock version, but I would like to do the supercharged version of the engine, which was an official Ford option in 1957. Unfortunately, they did not include instructions for assembling the supercharger. This model is a variation of the Ford Custom 300 2-door sedan model that came out a year or two earlier and did include the instructions for the supercharger.
