1971 Thunderbird

[ewetwo]

AMT 71 Thunderbird. Originally I built it with broken a pillars. I came across an almost complete kit so I switched the body's and mag wheels. It was dark green and I never really like the look. So I used a blue metallic. I clear coated it but it wouldn’t shine so iI put a coat of Pledge Revive. Gave it a little shine. I added a picture the original build.

Great restoration and the medium blue color looks appropriate for this model. I've built a couple of these and they're a nice stress free build.

Pretty cool! This kit always looked to me a bit uninspiring in the box, but as you've shown it cleans up NICE! Color does everything for this body, and that is a really great choice you've made. Well done!

Thank you Carl. I think the blue looks better than the green.

Great looking revamp on your T-Bird, a big improvement regarding the colour. Metallic paint is a must for this style of car. These are very simple kits and a bit uninspiring on opening the box, and the box art doesn't help, but what can be made of it makes it a real hidden gem. Very nice build!
