'58 Thunderbird Custom

[charlzrocks]

I did the custom turn on this Monogram 2 in 1 kit. The kit is very loosley based on the Darryl Starbird Electra (b&w photos), and I believe he helped design this kit as well. It's basic box stock with Testors Metallic Purple Enamel. Comments Welcome! Enjoy!

Thanks Raul! I have now run out of bubble top kits , There are only 4 left, and they are rare ones: Cosma Ray corvette, Futurista 3 wheeler, Magnum GT II, and 1969 Chevy SS 427..........all are hard to get AND expensive!!

Thanks! Attached is a photo of the kit box which is dated 2002. The bubble is held on by a post and hinge system. Posts on the rear of the bubble go thru the body and are held in place by a cylindrical hinge. I wish I didn't have to prop it up though!
