A Monogram 1958 Thunderbird. Way long ago, I always wanted
a Batmobile Kit. So
I was thinking at the time I could make something similar
out of a 1958 Thunderbird kit.
I
glued the front and rear bumpers, hood, and doors and molded
them into the body lines with putty. I also took another
1958 kit and cut out the trunk area, and molded this section
into the car covering where the back seats normally would
be.
About where I reached that stage, a Resin
Batmobile Kit became available, and the project was
stopped.
Years later I went back to it, thinking it would still make
a nice custom. I added the wide white walls and painted
the model Testors baby blue. I added some pinstriping decals.
Some
time later, small hairline cracks began to appear around
the rear deck lid area from where the putty had set (again,
this being years after I started the project).
So once more, the kit was abandoned. Maybe it will give
you a model idea ?
One
of the kits I used was an Elvira
version.
