Custom painted 62 Thunderbird Sports Roadster

Bob Jackman · 2021-12-02T21:40:04Z

A while back Pete Rovero posted some pictures of the DM Thunderbird Sports Roadsters he repainted in original 1/1 colors. One of the colors he did was Castillian Gold which is the color of my 1/1 63 Roadster. I made the comment at the time if he ever decided to sell that model I would be interested. Some time later Pete contacted me to say that he was willing to sell the model. Long story short, the model arrived today and it is an absolute work of art. I've seen some very talented people in this hobby but none any better than Pete and the job he did on this model. The real icing on the cake is that he is a pleasure to deal with.
