Completed in the past few weeks. My 1990 Martin & 1991 Allison T-Birds.





Using auto rattlecans, Signal Black and a pearl Dark Red. With the great Powerslide decals.





Removed the netting and a masking tape one for the Folgers. Which craftily, also hides the chipped gold stripe decal.
And just plain PVA Kristal Kleer to stick it down. No need for CA.







On both cars, I filled in the side strakes and the bumper intake on the #6. I had spare putty, so why not!







It's great to finally build these two cars. In the 90's I failed on them both. Poor paint on the 28 and shops always sold out on the 6.






Only small problem is so much clearcoat on the Folgers hood, it barely fits into the car, but I'll live with it.

Both look great - really like the color on the folgers car.

Very nice builds and excellent decal work on the Folgers car.

[Matt T.]

Gorgeous! Very well done. Two of the best looking Thunderbirds of the era.

[Crime Dog]

Both a very nice, but the Martin car, Wow!

[Rattlecan Dan]

Those are both exceptionally great builds. Thanks for sharing. And Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Thank you to all and have a good Christmas break.

On YouTube,i've been watching the $lapshoes films of these two drivers. Especially the Allison film. This helped to maintain the modelling, not to slack off. Thank god for owning a dehydrator!

The pearl red paint, got lucky with how small the mica is. And with all the clearcoats and wet sanding, it looks even more fine grain.

Feels satisfying to end my modelling year with these classic racers.

Good looking builds

[MarkJ]

Both excellently done, VDC. The 90's Thunderbirds were classic body styles that made into beautiful race cars.

A real nice pair of T Birds!!!!!!!

Awesome job,paint and polish..he does honor to these 2 cars.
No problem to place the cartograf? They sometimes seem to be difficult to fold.
you used which softener?

[Lionpride]

Both look great! Thanks for posting.
The new Foldger's decals look sooooo much better than the kit ones.

I am late to the party but awesome looking models. The Folgers car in particular. I have those decals and was thinking about abandoning them after seeing what others did with them. You really laid them down nicely and gave me hope that I could pull it off!!
