Model King 1971 Thunderbird

It's so cool they're releasing this kit again. I hope it comes with the bird of paradise decals. I built (ruined) this kit when I was a kid because the decals had to be cut from the paper and up to that point i had only built a few kits where the decals where separate on the paper. I seem to remember just laying the whole decal over the car.

You'll be happy with this kit. The box indicates it does come with the Bird of Paradise decals.

After doing a little web searching last night, it looks like Model Haus' 4-door Bird is a '67. Not a '71 as I hoped. I still may need to pick up a Bird of Paradise kit. Build it basically stock like I did my Model King version, with one small custom touch. Adding the hidden headlamp covers that come with kit. I like the '70 and '71 T-Birds in stock form with the exposed headlights. But, I also like the looks of them with covered headlights. Like on the Bird of Paradise box art. So if I but it, I'll then have two almost identical Birds. Just different colors. One completely stock. The other very slightly modified with hidden headlights. A stupid reason to buy another one? I don't know? I'm sure it would make Round 2 happy.

I was in Hobby Lobby today and they had the 71 T-Bird.
