  1. Thanks Zenon! It was indeed a "turnaround" design in the all too "angular" 80's LOL. CT
  2. Hi Mark! Thanks for the comments. I kept the sidewalls of the front tires, and as you can tell, I joined the two slivers at the center. Makes for a cleaner job. Now, to your suggestion: I agree it would be fun, but this is my second aeroBird in a few years. The previous one was a mash-up of the Monogram Pro-Stock kit with the 1987 Turbo-coupe chassis & interior, plus a transplant of the rear quarter-panels at the wheel opening level, to recreate the OEM look (see pics below). Funny fact: I happen to have the 41 Lincoln caps, because I used the kit to make an all-out custom (see pic below). The fact the MKVII is more "squarish" makes it less appealing to my eyes. Oh well... However, I know our fellow modeler Steve Hayden (see his post on this thread below) IS willing to take this challenge. And I know he's the right guy to make this endeavour a success! Regards, CT
  3. Thanks Emre! Come to think of it... It seems you are right. I'm afraid there's no cure for that... CT
  4. Merci Mario! Now, you are putting pressure on me with the "didn't expect anything less". Misère... CT
  5. Hi Phil! Thanks for the fantastic pics, much inspiration there! I particularly love the Ford Sierra. I had 3 XR4Ti Merkurs and one Skorpio, so... CT
  6. Thank you Billy! The 83/86 Bird is such a great design, it's a good start! CT
  7. Thanks for the pics, very interesting! CT
