amt 1963 Ford Falcon Hardtop(NON-MODELHAUS RESIN KIT) from JAPAN

My New project is amt 1963 Ford Falcon(Jr. Trophy Curbside kit).
I bought it on ebay about $20. Because it was Junker Built. Some parts were gone. It Had Bad chrome(below photo).

So I decided to convert this Junker convertible to Hardtop. I knew that Modelhaus sell the 1963 Falcon Hardtop in kit form. But I’m not willing to built Resin kit because of troublesome building process. I grafted the roof from Modelking 1965 Falcon Gasser’s . To convine the 1965 Falcon Roof and 1963 Falcon Body, I used the Superglue.

Front and rear Bumper from modelhaus. For realistic looks, I modified molded headlight.I changed the tires to MODELHAUS one.
