maltsr Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 My second yellow drag car in a row, this time it's the Revell '64 Thunderbolt kit with Fred Cady decals to build the car from 1965. The body was painted with Tamiya Yellow, basic wiring was added to the engine and the wheels came from the Revell '32 Ford kits. I now have seven completed examples, with a Butch Leal version still to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Congratulations, Paul, on what is surely the finest collection of Thunderbolts ever assembled. That Bob Ford is laser sharp - the side trim is a lesson on foil detailing for everyone. Just beautiful! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Quite the collection! This one looks good in yellow and the Torque Thrusts are definitely the right wheel for it. Very clean build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Love it in the yellow color. This is really a great kit, but foiling all that trim is no picnic. Congrats on doing it multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This car looks perfect. Very clean build. The Thunderbolt is one of my all time favorite cars from the S/S era. I have 14 T Bolts completed, and this yellow Vogt car was my “Elenor” out of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Nice work on all of these. The yellow is a knockout for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That's a very cool collection of Thunderbolts! They all seem to be very nicely done. I think you nailed the overall look with this yellow T-Bolt, and as said earlier, great work with the BMF. I finished one of these earlier this year, too, and foiling was definitely one of the trickiest jobs. Yours turned out very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Very nice. I had this car all planned out to do , but had issues with the Cady decals while doing the Gold version. So i shelved it and have yet to get back to it ( maybe someday soon I hope ) Ive got six on them done myself and decals to do maybe 4 or 5 more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The Bob Ford T-bolt really looks the business. Very clean build, and the colour and other details make it one of the best looking Thunderbolts of the era. Very tidy. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
