One of my favourite cars - the 65 Continental hardtop. This is the AMT kit, using the 58 Thunderbird hardtop as the basis for the roof. I found an advert in the internet showing a hardtop in Royal Maroon with, but have not seen any pics of a 1:1 in this color regrettably. It looked particularly elegant in this colour, so I tried to replicate the colour with a metallic red basecoat and clear blue over that. Not a total success, but good enough for me. Interior is in tan. More details below.
Here is a wip shot showing the Tbird roof, with the revised slope to the rear window pencilled in.
New roof from the top - had to add in a wedge shaped section in the middle to get it to match the body.
Here she is finished with black vinyl roof. The maroon colour is only really to be seen in sunshine...
