About product

Ford Thunderbird 1957 - plastic kit from AMT, 1:25 scale

An injection-molded plastic kit of the classic American Ford Thunderbird car of the 1957 model year in 1:25 scale from AMT. The kit is laid out as a 3 in 1: it can be built as a convertible, with the hardtop fitted, or in a custom version with reworked elements. The box holds a chromed engine, whitewall tires, stock and custom wheels, and new decals with a range of options. The exact number of parts is not stated here as binding; the binding source is the contents of the box and the instructions.

The real subject

The Ford Thunderbird was introduced in the middle of the 1950s as a personal luxury car, an elegant two-seat roadster with which Ford answered the Chevrolet Corvette. The 1957 model year closes the first, two-seat Baby Bird generation with its characteristic porthole window in the hardtop, prominent tail fins and a big V8. It is among the icons of the American automotive fifties and is still a sought-after collector's car today.

Building and painting tips

Clean the flash off the body carefully, sand down the mold parting lines and apply a primer before painting, as a gloss coat comes out best over a smooth surface. Leave the chrome parts on the sprue until painting and glue them carefully so that they do not go dull. Bring the interior and the engine to life with shades and a gentle wash, and the whitewall tires deserve a clean dividing line between the rubber and the white sidewall.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of American classics and cars of the 1950s.
  • For modelers who will appreciate the versatility of 3 in 1.
  • For builders with experience of painting a body and chrome.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
