Fabulous pictures of a remarkable model. The details are amazing including such things as the decals on the heater assembly.

IMO the best baby bird in 1/24 scale.

Have it - love it. My fav T-bird as well. Just wish they'd done some other colors too.

Billy! You mean you didn't buy the two other colors?.....

..."Seafoam Green":

Or the highly-coveted "Baby Bird Blue"?

Sorry; digitized, couldn't help myself.

Oh...very funny! LOL! You're killing me! I'd have been all over those '2'. And...

...black, gun-metal grey, or the EVER ICONIC 'RED'.
Geez.
Oh, well.

That is a true beauty! Makes you realize how badly Ford goofed up its modern reiteration!

A beautiful model. I was hoping for another color, but got this one anyway.

Mine has some script issues, it came that way. I tried to get a replacement, but DM was out. So someday I hope to fix the issues.
