So I was on a road trip with the better half, doing a little shopping for Cole's first birthday, when I saw an '87 TC for sale. ;)
So, I picked it up (literally) paid for it and brought it home.
Started gluing a coupla pieces together, when it hit me;
I'm addicted to Thunderbirds!
Oh yeah, it's plastic, and about 8 or so inches long (, that sounds bad lol)
I forgot that it came with the bodykit. Now if I was good enough to cut a hole in the top for a moonroof, I'd build a dead ringer for my Sport.

where did you find it? i want one!
I found a hobby shop that has a bunch of model tc's for the 87-88 body style. I think they sell for $10 or $15 each.
i've been working on a replica of mine for about two years.I couldn't finish it because I keep changing things.I'm now looking for wheels that match mine.I'm sending pieces out to be chromesd for a few models (including my Bird) such as the intake and headers.I had to fab up an Explorer intake.One day,I'll get it finished.
you got me all excited..... :( lol have fun building it!!
Any good hobby store should be able to get 'em at least, I think they're still being made.
Mine came from Hobby Lobby.
Mine's gonna get a 5.0 lol :punchballs::rollin:
You should start a build up thread....
i just finished doing a black one with red interior...these cars look awesome in black:D
Funny thing is, i thought about doing that.
Bet the model gets the 5.o in before the real Tbird does lol.
Maybe in a few days after I get the interior painted, and round up the engine stuff I'll post some pics in the long-dormant model car thread.
It'll take me a few days because a lot of my models are boxed up in the basp00get, and I plan on making a little work area for them down there, as we have a very curious 10 month old boy who's starting to be able to get into stuff now :evilgrin:
Besides, as much model as I have...I need all the room I can get lol
