Ford Thunderbird ´62

[Eero]

I thought I had a topic about this model but I can't find it...

This is a model about a 1:1 car that I owned years ago. After I sold it I built this model. I tried to create all details. I used AMT' 62 convertible as a base. Roof is from some old kit.

About those orange things... Those are called vent window reflectors. If you check this link, you can see a photo about 1:1 thing.

I changed those to orange at my 1:1 car. At model I used simply clear thin tape and orange marker pen.

The real thing:

Great stance, nice paint, accurate weathering and tons of other details including the improvised side window treatment - absolutely spectacular work. I would've never thought to use baby moons on a rocketbird, but obviously they work! Another talented builder to learn from...

[Danno]

Spectacular!

That is excellent work! Really well done.

[peekay]

Very nice work!

I'm got something very similar on the way. I'm using the 62 promo and have painted it in these same colours.

This is the type of build I love .. something you owned! .. and you did a spectacular job on this! The engine compartment is especially well done.

Wow, talk about the perfect daily driver. Nice model indeed.

[Agent G]

No, no freaking way that's a model! You shrunk the real car with Photoshop trickery!

Very nice job. Great weathering on the engine bay.

Awesome job on that "Bird."

[John Goschke]

Very impressive! Nice work fitting that roof. Love all the little details, especially those vent window deflectors. Forgot all about those things; don't think I've ever seen them in scale before!

[Shardik]

I'm confused.....Where are the pictures of the model?

[Sixx]
