Chuck Most Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Now that this one has finally been reissued, seemed like a perfect time to tear into an original 1990 kit. I did use some decals from the reissue, along with a supercharged DOHC Mod V8 from Jay's Resin Wheels 1948 on eBay, and grafted in a radiator and core support from a 1990 Mustang, along with a parts box electric fan. It also has an Iceman Collections air filter. I wanted something subdued for the paint so I went with Testors Bronze. Needs a little foil touchup around the taillights and on the bumpers but overall I'm happy with how this "slam it together and get it over with" project turned out. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not. 🤣 It's basically the Matt Hay Pro street Thunderbird with a shortened Lincoln body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyB Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Lov it, looks fantastic and the engine looks right at home. Too bad it;s gonna get dirtly if you're driving in the rain.. Seriously, always a favorite of mine. Almost bought a real one once. Have a number of the original kits as well as a stock resin body, have yet to build one. Now maybe I should.

Lobo2me Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I had a 1:1 1989 Mk VII, but the paint was Shadow Blue, and the motor was nothing like the gorgeous supercharged DOHC Mod V8 you stuffed in there. However, the stance was similar after the airbag suspension failed... a couple of times! Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
