1957 Thunderbird - Class of '57 - Graduate #12

[Ramfins59]

Hi gang.  Here's a model that I finished a couple of weeks ago.  It is an AMT 1957 Thunderbird that I built as a curbside with the hood glued shut.  I guess I'm getting lazy in my old age as I'm finding it easier, quicker and more satisfying to not have to deal with building and/or detailing the engine or chassis.

Enjoy, and please all stay healthy, safe and well.  Any and all comments are welcomed as usual.

Great looking Baby Bird. The color combination looks good on this. Nice paint finish. Glad to see you're getting a little bench time again.

Nice.

Cool, I like the color.

Quite nice.  I didn't realize the AMT made a 1/25 1957 Thunderbird; I thought they only made the 1/12.

Why is a 57 T-bird in the class of 59?

This model was in a triple car set of the '57 Ford, '63 Ford and '57 T-Bird.

Nice Richard. And I'm starting to think the same as you. Curbside.
