1962 Thunderbird

[ford fan]

Hi everyone.

I have just completed this Amt '62 T-Bird.

This kit is really great, I enjoyed every moment of its construction. I added an MCG photoetched set for the extra details (since it is a convertible, the interior is highly visible).

The paint is Tamiya Pearl Green, without clear coat but sanded/polished.

 

Thanks for looking !

Beautiful paint color and finish show of the body lines. Realistic looking interior finishes and the engine as well. The chrome wires always look correct on this body style.

That's one fine looking T-Bird. I dig the colour, and kudos on some fine foil work.  Nicely done.

Monsieur Joseph,

You have done it again, sir!  This is stunning and I agree with the method of not using a clear coat on these early models.  It really gives it that "scale" look.  It is also a more difficult option whilst risking burn through of the paint.

Gorgeous TBird.

A massive thank you to all of you ! 😀

I'm glad that you like it !

Gil, you are right, a clear coat (especially the PU ones) would make it too shiny considering the year of the car. In order not to burn through of the paint, I started wiht a not too agressive sanding grit (3600 if I remember well).
