It seemed that every time I saw a build of this kit online, it was a rather disappointing attempt. Mostly, from what I read, was due to the unusual plastic used in the early versions. I picked up a MiniCraft release of the kit off the Bay, and, happily, it was molded in their standard styrene.
At 1/32, it's a simple kit. No engine or window glass. Built box stock, with the addition of some clear acetate windows.
I know the Fords of this year only came in black, but I took some liberty with a blue-black, and left off the gloss coat.
I hope I did it some amount of justice
Thanks for lookin' in!

It looks great finished in the matte black/blue ! Reminds me of something the Addams would have . Such a neat looking body style , I never knew MiniCraft made a kit .

Nice build!!! I like those early autos. I think someone made a center door body in 1/25.

Always had a soft spot for the more unusual T body styles and that's definitely a rarity. A nicely finished rarity! Nice build!!! I like those early autos. I think someone made a center door body in 1/25. I think this is the one (you need to scroll down a bit) but all the links are dead: www.resinrealm.net/Star/AardvarkModels/Aardvark.htmlDoes anyone know if Aardvark stuff is available anywhere these days, I bought a few back in the day and the quality was top notch!

Andy/Ardvark did great work. I have the Firebird kit. Pretty sure Andy stopped casting years ago. Thx

That Aardvark link popped up when I was searching reference pics. It would make a great rod.
I had thought about rodding this one up, ala my MPC T Bomb , but I wanted to keep this one box stock. Maybe if I get another in the pile.
