Really? I just typed "1987 Thunderbird" in Google Image, it shows page after page after page of '87 Birds! Plus, if I clicked on the pics, I suspect there is more pics on many of the sites. I suspect eBay has a bunch of them also.

It strikes me odd as I look through my stash of detail and super detail sets that I have collected through the years... as time goes by, my desire to use them wanes. Right now, I am in one of my worse funks ever. The most I can do at the hobby bench is shuffle stuff around. I am a “middle of the road†detailer… I do OK, but never so good that it will make a contest judge drop his jaw. And I seem to be caring less. I cannot build right now. I hope to try again someday.

Looks good... I think. Hope you get some better quality pics. I think it would be worth it.

Real sharp build!

I also suggest a photo host site. My Fotki account resizes the photos for me. Plus, a photo host site just makes sense. Save your pics in one easy to find (and share) place forever.

Are decals available for us to build a replica of the Wild Child?

Yup! Good job, Felix!

That's too kool, Chuck! BTW, you got some explainin' to do! What bits went into that? Has it had it's shots?

Big gap between the roof and the side in the first pic. Other than that, and the missing t-lights, looks nice!

I think VAG killed any "macho" feel to the car by adding a flower vase to the dash... or at least it didn't help. What's next? The Maxipad Edition?

I like the flatter roofline, and the fact that the car will be "Americanized". As in "fat butt"

Craig... it looks good! I agree, rest of interior in dark colours... gives the front buckets an "aftermarket" look, which is fine on a small performance car like your scooby.

The Rommel's Rod begs modification! The 'armored' one is a great idea. Maybe replace the chrome disk on the spare also? All kinds of possibilities here. Keep us posted.

Looks good. How did you make new wheels?

Aren't Chally's great? Nice lookin' car... nice lookin' model! Definitely worth watching.

That paint looks wet enough to swim in! Nice!

I like Glad Press'n Seal. It has a light tack, sticks, yet peels off easily.

What George & Paul said! This is, I believe, the latest issue...

I think the peak on the front of the hood just looks wonky. It looks to be at odds with the rest of the lines. Perhaps if the peak was cut off the hood, and blended to the nose?. Either that, or just tone down the entire bulged hood.

Well, I think Harry wants us to think "Revell Chopper", so I voted REAL. Not sure I can outfox the fox!

Why? Because Taco Bell already signed up the chihuahua.

I like it!

This is the only flipnose I could find in my albums. Note the chrome bars... they would be attached to the nose, which would in turn be aligned on the front of the car. Once that is established, just attach the bars to the frame rails. HTH.

Just because they can... doesn't mean they should.

Finally bought the Black Widow this week. Maybe the third kit I have bought all year.
