Can-Con Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Supposed to have been a quick build to get familiar with the kit before I started a full in custom of the same kit. fought me all the way. Probably because the chassis I used was quite glue bombed, it took a lot more work to get strait and level than I would have liked. , , , Anyway, Here it is,, AMT '69 Thunderbird annual. Fresh body and chrome from "Allison Thunderland" funnycar kit. Chassis, engine and interior from built original kit. Wheels are Kelsey Hayes "strippers" from AMT '63 Vette and tires are Firestones from AMT parts pack. Body is Tamiya black spray with Testors one coat wet look clear wet sanded and polished with Tamiya polish Interior is Ford royal blue auto lacquer with Testors dullcoat and flocking.

Bucky Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Very well done! Great black paint makes it look very formal. The wheels look right at home on this one. TOP SHELF result!
olschoolkid Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Very nice classy looking Thunderbird. The wire wheels really give it a slightly more luxurious look.
