Thunderbird Pro Street

Used the Revell Matt Hayes kit . I had some problems with this kit but it could have been me and not the kit . Just finished it this morning . Not at all happy with it but here it is with all its warts . The black trim really gave me fits and I didn’t do a very good job on it .  Tried first with a black marker but that did not work too good so I used Tamiya bottle paint . Painted with Tamiya yellow and cleared with Duplicolor 1k clear .

Yikes !  One of my worst . I'm breaking it down for parts.

Hi Ray!

Don't be too hard on yourself. This is a finnicky kit, and don't ask me how I know.

What is the saying, already? "Let's have fun"... Just one more to add to your lurning curve!

Thanks Claude.  It, or some of it is now in my parts box. ?

[SickBoy]

Meh, just a model, don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure we all have a model oops hanging around somewhere. Hope you saved the engine and intake setup, that looked great!

[slusher]

I don’t see nothing much wrong with it..

I don't know, the color kind of grows on ya combined with the decals. Rub it up and get it a little dirty and it could be a neglected former show winner from it's heyday. I would love to have a couple of these kits myself, one as the actual car and one with a little imagination added.

Thanks fellows. The parts will live on in another hopefully better model.

Looked ok to me but what do I know. ? I remember building the Lincoln MKVIII LSC years ago, same kit with a shrunken Lincoln body, and I recall it being "a fun one" if you know what i mean.

Don't sweat it - all of us, I'm sure, have had a project or projects that finished well under expectations.  I know that I have. At least you had the stones to post it.

I was thinking how cool it looked; like a barn find.  It's a shame to find that it has been dismantled.

[Oldcarfan27]

I see no problems from here.

Looks great to me.

Thanks fellows but trust me, it is/was horrible !
