Years ago I happened to drive by the local Ford dealer shortly after they had received a shipment of '87 turbo T-Birds. He had parked a black one, a medium canyon red one, a metallic blue one and a white one side by side. I recall thinking that even if he offered to give me one of them for free, it'd take me forever to decide which one I liked best. These, IMNSHO, were some of Ford's best styling work.

Grzegorz, we don't see a lot of posts from you, but they're always worth checking out.

Ford may not have offered this car in this color, but that appears to be an oversight on their part, as that shade of yellow seems to really complement the lines of the car. My compliments also on achieving such smooth paintwork, not to mention choosing a great shade to for the interior. Looks like you found plenty to detail under the hood as well.

Good job on this one! Can't wait to see what you post next.

the engine bay looks pretty good! Who makes this kit?

It's a Monogram kit. They seem to be fairly easy to find and relatively inexpensive. I don't recall seeing a built one before, but now that Grzegorz has posted his, it looks like a worthwhile kit. I may have to grab one or two myself.

Very nice build with lots of attention to detail. Not a kit I recall seeing often, you realy made it stand out.

Very nice! I currently have two of these kits, one I'm working on swapping in a fuel injected big block... This is a very nice kit to build. The fit's good and it's really accurate.

I love this one! I used to have a 1:1 '87 Turbo Coupe with the five speed. It was black with a charcoal interior, but I always wondered what it would have looked like if I'd painted it yellow. Guess I have my answer now! Just wish I still had the car.

The yellow doesn't look bad on it, I have to admit. And I usually don't like yellow too much.

Very nice build. I wouldn't mind a real 1987-88 Thunderbird at all; I always thought those were nice-looking cars.
