Will there ever be a plastic mk III lincoln?

[JAFFA]

There's actually a '71 which was put out by Model King a while back............they're all over eBay in the U.S.

Not up on my T-Birds of that era, but the differences seem minimal to my view.

Dang, i gots to get my hands on one o those, pity that the shipping costs from Sweden to the U.S. for a box of modelcar-size is at about $45...

There is this Lincoln MK II Kit....

I didn't build this model, but it came from this Kit, which I have - Revell's SSP Kit Series.....

I've seen that one, would love one for the cahssis-engine to detail my Futura, ok, i know, it's not the 357, but it's better than "whatnot" is molded in there on the original Futura kit...

The Lincoln Mark series, III, IV, V has been a car that I have been close to, as my dad had a '71, a '72, a '74, and a '77. In my opinion, the '71 was the best car out of the bunch. The '74 was a special car to me, as my Dad let me pick out the color combination (Dark Blue/Silver Blue roof/Dark Blue interior), and that was the car I drove on prom night. The AMT '69 Thunderbird kit would be the best basis for a Mark III, as they were on the same platform, and the '69 T-Bord kit roof has no adornment on the sail panels. It would not be a project for the faint of heart. The Mark IV and Mark V basis could be the Arii '73 Thunderbird, with a lot of work. One of the board members was doing a '74 Mark IV conversion, which was a killer. I would love to see it in resin.

I did see a couple resin kits on Ebay a while back as well, a -58 mk III convertible, and a -70 Funny car, but cheap as i am, 50$ is more than i want to pay for a single kit...

You cannot use the Continental chassis for the Futura because the Conti is approx 1/32 scale and the Futura is approx 1/25.

Unless of course you fancy upping the scale and scratch building, bit of a project but worth it in my opinion.

I'd definitely LOVE a model of this '77 Lincoln!..................

That was one of my favorite cars back when they were new!

[george 53]

Bill I second that! I went to the Lay it Low website an saw no info on it.Where do you order them and how much? They'd be pretty good sellers IMHO!

[MrObsessive]

I dunno George.................I hope they're not "eBay only" items and are actually for sale retail. I agree they would be hot sellers if given stock and lowrider parts!

My dad had a White on White one, and my uncle had a Frost Green on Jade one, with the upgraded Jade interior and sun roof. I may go for one or two of those.
