I just noticed that they include a '55 year model roof instead of the '56 and '57 porthole roof. Â Thanks. Some of the '57 T-birds came without the porthole. Not too many know this.

MrObsessive Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Very sharp looking 'Bird Randy! And yes, the porthole top was a sort of 'necessary' addition/option starting with the '56 models after there were complaints with the outward visibility of the '55's. What drives me kind of crazy is to go to a car show and see a '55 with a porthole top and the owner says it's "all original". No. That's strictly a '56-'57 option and either they don't know that or they're trying to pull a fast one. Â That's one of my dream builds BTW.......to build a super detailed '57, but I'd have a different take on it using body parts from other kits. Â Still waiting for the very nice PE set I see on Model Car Garages site, but it's nowhere to be seen in the product listing. From what I see on the page, it looks to include everything you'd need to build each of the three two-seat years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTallDad Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Excellent Job! Is that a 6 volt battery in the engine compartment? Edited February 18, 2019 by BigTallDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellyfatdude Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Totally stunning, Randy! The first model I ever built was a gift, but the AMT ' 57 T-bird was the first kit I ever bought for myself, the Modern Classics issue. I did the typical horrible job of a ten year old at building it. brush painted, glue everywhere, etc. Never, in all those years since then, did I think that it was possible to produce such a beautiful scale replica from one of those kits. Great job! Edited February 19, 2019 by smellyfatdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
