Great car, it's a pity they don't release it as an model kit. =(

Friends, I present to you my latest work. Interior paints: Tamiya + Pacific88 acrylics. Undercarriage: Acrylics + LP Tamiya. Body: Acrylic Akan. Varnish: 2k zero colors. As for the varnish, I want to note that it is not always necessary to blindly instructions for packaging, because the last times I did not like how the varnish is applied and polished. When I used to take 2k varnish for bottling (single portion), I diluted it liquid-liquid and everything was ok. So I did this time too. I spread zero 2 times more than the instructions advise.

It's calling done! A couple of photos for a start. I will try to take pictures on the street on the weekend. Wait for them in the Under Glass topic.

I know it's, but I did everything a little my way, little custom. Because modeling is creativity.?

And...body is polished.

Good evening everyone. Finished off, the interior. As a result, it turned out a little not what I wanted and not what in reality, but because all these nuances are visible only now, and after the final assembly they will be practically invisible, did not begin to alter. And completed undercarriage.

Good evening friends. It's time to upgrade. All parts are primed. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph painted in primary colors. Assembled wheels. And assembled the "heart" of the iron bird.

Stock.

Good afternoon friends. The construction does not stand still, there are a lot of boxes and you need to collect them. My choice fell on one of the open ones (so far I have made a plan for myself to collect all the open ones, and the sealed ones for later), for a long time my eyes rushed to her. The great and terrible Thunderbird as anyone in the 9th generation, built on a fox-body platform from my favorite generation of Mustangs. Can be assembled in two versions: stock and aero (white on the box on the right). We have an annual in our hands, just a year younger than me. Made in the USA. A trifle, but nice. I unpack it as it was packed. Car tires. I hate it when they do that. It's good that it's not a no-name. Tire tread Glasses. Chrome. Body. Underhood details, a lot is cast with a body, but not scary. Look at these beautiful shapes! Awesome! Good stampings. Second sprue. And everything is fine here. Interior. Door cards are very pleasing, AMT players need to learn. Sprue with specials for aero version. Next sprue. Dashboard is very well designed. So are the seats. The last sprue. I liked the steering wheel. Inline four. The decals are very poor. Large manual clamshell. I was very surprised by the assembly sequence. Moving on. I didn't want to bother with processing the imitation of springs and I did it from scratch. I decided to make a small imitation of the alternator mounting. Made on the basis of super realism I do not pretend. Made straps in the interior. And headlights, as well as fog lights. They had to be glued in immediately, tk. after painting, it will be unrealistic to glue the muzzle beautifully. I had to tinker a lot with the fit, the holes in the face themselves, the headlights, and the glass were fitted, but I won all this in the end. In general, despite the small number of parts, this set is given much heavier than the past Chrysler. Everything went smoothly there, almost everything had to be adjusted and the casting flaws were corrected. All parts are ready and waiting to be washed and primed and painted. That's all.

Good afternoon friends. I got out today to take street photos in natural light. I can definitely say that I got tremendous pleasure from working with this set. The connectivity is excellent, the plastic is pleasant, there were practically no nuances, except for the windshield. I painted with acrylic tamiya + gunze paints, 2k clear from zero paints.

Hello everyone. Body is polished. So that is all. Another model on the shelf. A couple of photos for seed, wait on the Under The Glass topic with normal color rendition.

Undercarriage & interior complete.

Good afternoon friends. Another update arrived in time. In the set we are given as many as 3 sets of headlights. Stock at the very bottom, it's strange that there are only 2 pieces without risks, well, the headlights with holes surprized a little, why this is applicable at all. All the remaining parts are prepared. Everything is primed. Painted in basic colors. And additional colors are laid. The decals presented me with another surprise. A plate from a set, decals too. How so, history is silent. Well, the most delicious for me - engine is completed.

Good evening, everyone, after a long sabbatical, I'm starting to actively build. We start with the engine. Everything is removed from the sprue. Processed and prepared for priming. These clever whitewalls, which are molded from plastic and inserted into rubber tires, turned out to be a surprise. The holes in them are much smaller than necessary. The result is pornography. The disc does not fit completely and sticks out because of the whitewall. Why this is done, I cannot understand. We take a dremel in our hands and grind it from the inside. Now that's great. Before and after. Comparisons of the whitewall itself before and after. All wheels are processed. Also, interior and undercarriage parts have been processed. Thank you for attention.

Good afternoon friends. A new box on the desktop and a new build. I looked at this box for a long time, and now it is at work. The most beautiful car with chic shapes and huge rear fins. Legendary three hundredth. Here's a box. Made in 1999. The first in the box is a huge body. Really a barge. So far, my largest model, the dimensions are truly impressive. Very good embossing, it will be easy to paint in three colors, as on a real prototype. I was pleasantly surprised by the ceiling inside the interior. A small imitation of wiring under the hood. Glass sprue. It is immediately evident that additional headlights are given for the custom. Bottom. Huge. The carpets on the floor are also very very pleased. Next sprue The detail is amazing. The letters, however, some indistinct ones, upset me a little. The door cards are gorgeous. So is the back seats. Move on. Huge frame. Exhaust, suspension parts. I liked the battery very much. The springs are also good. More details. The steering wheel is good! The last sprue. Here it is unusual for AMT, instrument panel up just under the decal. Whitewalls are given with white plastic, but, most likely, I will be painted. B. F. Goodrich tires. For the first time! For the first time in my modeling practice, a seamless protector. Well, they can! Why then is there always a disgusting seam or displacement? Unclear. Taillights too - stock and custom. Chrome sprue. The turn signal should be made of transparent glass, but they give it to us in chrome, a mess, of course. I bought the set from hands, but the decals saw a lot of some BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, apparently. But, uncritically, the damage on the paper itself, the decals are good. Well, a huge nice manual. Tomorrow I will start building, start, as always, with the engine.

It's calling - done!

Well, friends. That's all. The last update.? Fixed the shifter. Well, I put everything together. Thanks for attention.

Polishing is done!

Friends, hello everyone! Details in the white primer from Tamia, I was once again convinced that it was necessary to switch to Gunze, but it’s a pity to throw it away, so I’ll waste it and suffer. Finished the undercarriage and installed engine and all attachments. Unfortunately, the oil filter, which I was so proud of, had to be removed due to the design of the kit, it simply does not fit. Finished the interior, velvet paper on the floor. Wheels ready for installation + spare wheel in the trunk. Glasses in future floor polish. Well, the body is in 2k clear from zero paints. I will polish in a week. That's all for now. Thanks for attention.?

Good evening, colleagues! The engine is done.?

U r welcome?

Thanks!

Good afternoon friends. Last pre-paint update.: D Headlights with a bumper, it was decided to choose stock. But leave it like that, the stump is clear, I don't plan, it's a quiet horror - chrome optics. I removed the chrome completely, tk. The quality of the bumper was terrible with a flash and other joys. Well, for the first time in modeling practice, I sculpted reflectors from 2k putty. Back lights. With some kind of fright, we are given one through back light. We take a transparent sprue and adjust it. Before-after. Made a kind of firewall that they gave us. I didn't cut holes in it, it is not necessary, there is not much to look at.))) Well, a general view of my future custom. All the parts are washed and ready at the ground, in the next runs I will be primed and put the main first color. Thank you for attention.

There will be no problems, because I will be painting this transparent shroud.

Good afternoon, friends, the build does not stand still, the first update is ready. I chose these wheels and stock tires, tk. the second set with wide tires seemed completely irrelevant to me, after all, this is not an SUV. One problem immediately appeared. There are 2 types of tires in the set, but the rear disc mounts are only suitable for wide tire. I decided to get out of the situation in the following way. I cut off around the perimeter what treacherously sticks out. From the back inside it is still not visible. He removed the chrome from the wheels, will be painted in body color. Processed and prepared all engine parts. With the water pump, I cut off all the unnecessary, cast is not clear how and for what. I apologize for the quality of the photo, I did not take a picture after removing the chrome. Here we have an indistinct distributor for wiring with mold displacements on the right. The oil filter is a gnome on the left, although on a real car it is on the front mount between the pulleys belts. Well, from above, something incomprehensible. The oil filter with mount is made from scratch. As well as the distributor for wiring. I made the terminals for the battery. I processed and prepared the details of the interior, it will be stock for me. Made the door armrests. And prepared the rear suspension parts. For today, there is nothing more to show, everything else is still in work. Thank you for attention.
