fordf-100 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi everyone, here is an AMT 1962 Thunderbird that I finished recently. I was going for a mid 60's street custom look, lowered with custom paint, interior and wheels. This is a pretty nice kit overall with good detail and it builds fairly easy with some minor fit issues. Paint is a silver base with a magenta nail polish fade and some orange nail polish fade! Comments welcome!! Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordf-100 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Thank for the comments ! The tires are the kit tires and the mags are from a Johan Eldorado kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirewriter Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Thanks, I knew the mags looked familiar and were in a vintage kit but just couldn't place them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod3l Lover Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'm glad you found this one Casey!! I missed it too, and that would have been sad! That is a great motivational inspiration for people like me to get my stalled '62 Bird done, . . . someday . . . . . . . hopefully!?! Beautiful work Phil, kudos!! David S.
