                        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.

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

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

                        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.

                        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

                        Paweł

                        All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

                        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!
