RandyB. Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just finished this AMT 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Painted in Tamiya Italian Red. As the Beach Boys said "And She'll Have Fun Fun Fun Til Her Daddy Takes the T-bird Away". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very excellent T-Bird. Your patience and building skills are evident by turning this somewhat sow's ear of a kit into a very fine silk purse. Gives me some incentive to dig mine out of the stash.

Red318 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Lovely build. I like the Tamiya red. Did you clear coat if with anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Dang it, everybody has already used all the adjectives that came to my mind when it saw the build. Thanks for sharing, it is an inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Great build in an iconic color scheme! I have a question regarding the AMT early Thunderbird kits; they always have looked to my eye as tho they were produced in about 1/22nd scale or so. Those kits always look too big when sitting next to another built 1/25th kit of just about any other car. Does anyone think the sizing might be a bit off?

dimaxion Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) '70 Grande . The wheel track is the same as the contemporary Fairlanes . To me , the model is spot on . I eyeball .. so I know I'm not perfect . What a respectable replica . I build Factory Stock and I am impressed . The optional Kelsey Hays Wire Wheels just makes this the icing on a cake . Check Thanx .. Edited February 17, 2019 by dimaxion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamadon Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Great build and it's hard to beat a red T-bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Looks great, and this kit is not easy to build to this level of finish. I just noticed that they include a '55 year model roof instead of the '56 and '57 porthole roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 That is perhaps one of the best builds I have seen of that kit. I have the 1/16 kit in my stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
