bbowser Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Finished this one up today. Not real happy with the fit of the front and rear bumpers but it does have mirrors! AMT Round 2 re-issue, went together pretty well (except for the aforementioned bumpers). Comments welcome, thanks for looking.
1930fordpickup Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I like it. Growing a fondness for these Birds.
TooOld Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Very nicely done ! Great engine and chassis . . . really clean . I'd lose the top .
Sixties Sam Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Nice!! the 61-63's are my favorite Birds! The tan top looks good with the red. Good looking interior, too. I wouldn't worry about the bumpers. Sam
Harry P. Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Nice, especially under the hood! And bonus points for having mirrors! And an antenna!
ctoelle Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 That's a mighty fine looking Bullet Bird there. What is the color?

ZTony8 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I wonder if there was an earlier thread about the windshield height and/or the shape of the raised top.They both look "off" to me-the windshield looks too tall(like the Trumpeter Nova) and the top looks too tall and too rounded. This looks to be a nicely done example of the kit.Congratulations. Edited October 28, 2013 by ZTony8
Kaleb Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Bruce, would you mind if posted one of these pics on Instagram? All credit goes to you.
rv1963 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Looks pretty good to me, I didn't notice the bumper issue till you said it, I really like the interior lots of foil work.
High octane Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I can see why you're not happy with it Ron, so please send it to me as it would look GREAT on my shelf. Thanks! Nice lookin' "Bird" you've built.

bbowser Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 That's a mighty fine looking Bullet Bird there. What is the color? Cheapo "Colorplace" red from Wallyworld, $1.99 a can.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Looks great, but you forgot to foil the side trim. I built this kit some time ago, and remember only one problem: The interior was a pain to make fit inside the body.
