I love the exterior but i have to say my eyes were pop’n when you lifted the bonnet!

Thank you very much! AMT provide some nice detail. Some ignition wiring and detail painting and you have a nice looking powerplant. I really was pleasantly surprised by this kit. The internet would have you believe it is miles worse than the Monogram version, but I think it holds its own and surpasses it in some ways. Both are solid old kits and worth the 5 or 10 bucks they can generally be had for, even if just for parts.

This one races across the finish line after a brief hiatus to build a Novi. Absolutely no issues with this old kit other than the slightly temperamental and fragile ancient decals. Even the cage and chassis fell together. I'd totally build another AMT/Ertl Nascar. Box stock. Just added some engine wiring and thats it. Thanks for looking. So what now? Another build in the group build? LOL

I love this classic thunderbird man!!! you're taking me way back now buddy - love it!

Hey, thanks a bunch Adrian!! This build was a lot of fun and it really isn’t a bad old kit at all. I’m happy with how this one turned out.
