1983 Ford "Melling' Thunderbird driven by Bill Elliot (fs) (1/24) The kit is molded crisply in white and clear with chrome plated parts and vinyl tires. The kit features a detailed interior and "Matthews" racing chassis and includes fill roll cage with fire bottle, oil cooler blower, safety netting and instrument panel. Hood opens to show Ford V-8 Racing Engine. This is one of the original Monogram Stock car kits issued in 1983 and is now rare and very hard to find in this condition. Vintage decals, even from sealed kits, are subject to deterioration. We suggest coating all vintage decals with Mircroscale Liquid Decal (DP127) available on our web site.
