1/16 Thunderbird

Was wondering if anybody made any resin parts for the Amt 1/16 Thunderbird?

What exactly are you looking for? There isn’t much in 1/16 by way of aftermarket parts. You’re almost better off looking at swaps and online auctions for other 1/16 kits. 

The Revell 33/34 Ford Street Rods have some nice bits in them that you might use…sometimes you find builts or parts lots of these kits that could be useful. 

Lately on eBay, the old AMT ‘55/‘57 Chevies, ‘64 Mustangs and MPC Cobras have been showing up as builts and parts lots. 

Competition Resins or Ted’s Modeling Marketplace sell some 1/16 things…they’re more drag oriented, but you might find some things there. 

If you want to customize it with more modern stuff, it gets even tougher. You could try looking on Shapeways, several creators there have some 1/16 parts.

I was just wondering if there was anything out there. One thing I was thinking about would be the supercharged engine.

Maybe you can try here, message the creator, I think he posts on this forum. Looks like old Y Block speed parts are right up one of his alleys…
