Maisto did a really nice job with this 1/18 Thunderbird and I believe they also offered it in a convertible/top-down edition.

The one I had had a removable up top and boot cover.Β 

There was also a Neiman Marcus version that, I think, was black with a silver top.Β 

And let's not forget the James Bond version driven by Halle Berry.Β 

Forgive me for any spelling mistakes...thanks.

Right.Β  I have a few, and they do have removable tops and separate boots. Actually, the scale proportions of this model are quite good.

This is Maisto's very nice model of a sleek Lamborghini supercar. For the real vehicle, one probably needs to be a millionaire to afford this astounding automobile. For the cool 1/18 Maisto model ..... not so much !Β

It is a very nicely put together 1/18 supercar. The paint and opening features are really wellΒ  done and at the typical low Maisto 1/18 price point.

Maisto has brought us some great models at, IMO, unbelievable prices.Β 

Especially in August / September at Costco & Sam's Club.Β

@chris Did you now that the owner of SO CAL Speed Shop stopped racing when his brother in-law was killed in the car when the clutch blew apart and ruptured a fuel line causing a fire. They did not have the bell housings like today that can contain an exploded clutch.
