1956 Ford Thunderbird with Removable Hardtop

The Thunderbird is a step back into yesteryear with a nice mix of style and performance. This kit does a very good representation of the nostalgic ride from days past. All parts fit well with very little flash removal required. The removable hard top is a nice touch to be able to get a good look inside the vehicle when removed. I was particularly happy to see the whitewalls were not just decals applied to the tires, but inserts into the the tires, those work so much better. Nice detailing on the decals, though not many required for this build. Overall a very enjoyable kit without issue

Enjoyed building this kit but I was a bit disappointed in the lack of detailing for a Level 4 kit. It was more like a Level 2. All in all I was quite happy with the final result. Very little flash and the chrome parts were clean for the most part. I was a bit taken back at first as this was obviously a “repack” with many loose parts, open bags and the box was crudely taped.

I usually let my wife choose the color to paint most models. I was thinking red/white of course, but she said it has to be pink. I'm glad I went with pink... very elegant. After all, I built this one for her. This was a very nice model to build with very little issues, only a couple that were strictly my fault. I highly recommend this model for anyone wanting to add another classic to their collection.
