1:25 1956 Ford T-Bird (AMT-Ertl)
Posted by USFDon2012 on Tuesday, March 4, 2014 12:02 AM

Evening all!

Ran into a spot of bother with a kit I've recently purchased and thought I'd come to the forum for a bit of advice and wisdom.

The kit in question is a 1:25 1956 Ford T-Bird from AMT-Ertl. When I opened the kit, everything that needed to be in the box was in the box, except for one thing: The color call-out sheet.

Fortunately, I already know what color I will be using for the exterior (Fiesta red) and for the engine block itself (Ford Engine Red). What is giving me a bit of concern are the colors for things like the chassis, the interior, and the other bits which comprise the engine.

Does anyone have/know of a color call-out sheet for this car? If not, can anyone recommend a good reference site so I can piece color schemes together from photo references?

Thanks! And, as always, Happy Modeling!

Hello!

Going with reference photos is always a good idea. While I don't know a specific site with the info you need, I'd do the research on Google - Image Search first, then try to find some classic cars forum and ask people who own such a T-Bird for photos - most of the time it works great. Good luck with your project and have a nice day

USF, for exterior and interior color pics try this:  www.portholeauthority.com

Nothing ever fits……..and when it does, its the wrong scale.

To make mistakes is human.  To blame it on someone else shows management potential.

Not to sound like a company man; but a look on the Scale Auto (sister publication of FSM) website, could answer all your questions

I think I've seen red '50s-era T-Birds with black interiors. That would look nice.

A common interior for the 55 and 56 T-bird was black seats with white rolled and pleated center sections and black carpeting. All white leather seats was also popular.
