What an amazing build

[@johngligo4049]

Beautifully done on your T-Bird buddy! Love that Coral color! Inspiration for mine!

[@robertsalanon2909]

Trés belle réalisation ...Congrest !!

[@davidchin350]

Third looks great, nice job accenting the door and trunk lines.

[@fatmike5038]

I just bought this model at Walmart and can't wait to get started, great video, gotta sub from me.

[@timrussell1559]

Beautiful and well done. If it weren't for the less than attractive body line paint it would have been an A+....To each his own though

[@geoffhipwell2198]

A very nice build. The body looks great, especially in that color. You've built a very impressive model, one to be proud of. A good job Louie! 👍

[@drafting5652]

Amazing very cool like the color thank you for sharing

[@lesterelkins4050]

A very nice build and a very good channel! I bought this kit ay the Hobby Lobby 40% off sale and have it in line. I stumbbled across your channel when I searched the kit. A new subscriber here!

[@TheAutisticModeler]

Thank you!!! Happy Modeling

I'm really digging the color. In the beginning of this video You referred to the uptops round side windows. They're called the opera windows and I think they were an option for the removable hardtop. You couldn't get them for a canvas top in my knowledge. I think I want... need this kit just because of the wheel options. And it's a sweet looking kit too.

[@dongordon4464]

Very nice - those heavy black door lines are not for me we all build models for ourselves keep up the good work

[@valleyshaverjohn2821]

Nice job on the "57 T-Bird. Again, the color choice was perfect for the era.

[@ronroberts2453]

Wonderful color choices and excellent preparation Louie!!

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice looking build. Nice color choice. Thanks for sharing.

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Great work Louie, fantastic unboxing and excellent job on building this Thunderbird. Cool colour too, well done 👍🏼

[@mred5998]

The only year that roof without the port hole was used was 1955 , don't know why they put it in the 57 kit . Great build !!

[@TJHahn624]

👍👍

[@lancerevell5979]

Nice kit, I finished mine earlier this month. I did have trouble getting the clear windshield to fit the chrome frame. Had to trim the "glass" to fit. I painted the chrome motor in Ford engine blue. The nonplated engine just didn't seem complete enough to work. My paint scheme is Tamiya gloss red spray body and red/white twotone interior.

[@jimanderson4271]

Great build Louie! Perfect choice of colors 👌

[@VA_info]

Nice and clean model work my friend. Love the colors also.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Very cool!! Looks like she's ready to cruise!!!

[@lorenharwood5137]

Looks great ! Great color !!!!

[@stevedelsesto2080]

Thanks for sharing that Great kit

[@jamesdaly5698]

Nice job, love the color! It's hard to complain when they put 3 sets of chrome wheels in the kit, but I so wish they would tool up some Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. They would really make this bird sing! Cheers....:)

[@davidparsleyscustomscaleemerge]

Great color choice Louie, came out fantastic!!

[@myesenc]

I have the Vegas kit, still sealed in it’s original shrink wrap

[@hadilu65]

Great job Louie! 👍👍The color looks like the original Ford "Coral Sand". 👌I´ll do mine in "Gunmetal Gray" with a dark red interior.

[@deepjunkgarage]

Really sharp Thunderbird ! Thanks for sharing the small fitment issues with the front bumper, I've ordered this kit and I'll try to remember that there's a clearance issue. 🍻

[@jasonrothgeb6071]

Thanks for your content. I really enjoyed this video. You mentioned the porthole hardtop. A company named Drag City Castings makes one in resin. I don't have this piece from them, but I have purchased other pieces from them and their quality and service is top notch.

[@ruanecrummett9261]

Fantastic build louie

[@no.email.please]

Heeeeyyy, a fellow lefty! And also, a fellow piss-canner, we're rare and precious 😊 keep up the good work.

[@wilburross9709]

Great looking build! I was lucky enough to score what looks like the first release run of this kit. Partially built and butchered, at first I said I was going to use all of the custom parts to build the ugliest period-custom glue bomb that I could, but as the build goes on, I use more and more of the stock parts. Guess I'm getting old, I just can't do it; its such a pretty car stock.

[@shawntripp9380]

How do you get such nice finishes with the hardware store paint? I’ve been using Rust-Oleum 2X and just can’t seem to get jt

[@raymondblasee1048]

Louie! This is a great build! 2 questions here: Where did you get that Krylon Coral spray paint? I don't think Wal Mart carries it. Secondly, you didn't give a quick over on the instruction sheet so I wondered if there was an optional dual quad set up???

[@TheAutisticModeler]

No, it only has a single molded on the intake carburetor.

[@TheAutisticModeler]

I did get the paint at Walmart, but it was on clearance for $1.00, so I’m pretty sure it’s discontinued.

[@rayrussell6258]

I'm finding the use of panel line on door gaps, trunks, and other things like seats, is DETRACTING from the finished model. It looks dirty and uneven/rough/ragged. Deepening those lines with sharp tools before painting is better, so the paint doesn't fill the gaps.

[@no.email.please]

What's that red thing-ama-gig you painted on the driver's side inner tube? The only queef i have is take some minael-spirits and tone down those door jams / skerts / & trunk 😮

[@TheAutisticModeler]

That’s the washer fluid bag. Thanks for watching!!

[@rayrussell6258]

agree; panel line use is getting too excessive by too many modelers

[@iloveeatingpoop9022]

Thank you, my ADHD prevents me from following written instructions.

[@vincentlussier8264]

Very nice build. The color isn't for me though and you went a little heavy with the black accent lines!
