This is a 1/32 scale Gunze Sangyo model kit.  I had never heard of these model kits until I saw three models that Ken had built a few months ago.  I was inspired by the quality of the parts and the fine details incorporated in this kit and I always loved the look of the Thunderbird.  The model falls into the new category of Boulevard Cruisers.

A special thanks to Ken who assisted with the chassis build and was a great painting coach.

The model comes with a back seat and roof.  I preferred the look of the convertible with two seats and head rests.

The BWA Scan motor is glued to the chassis using epoxy in an anglewinder configuration.  Geared 14 pinion x 30 spur gear.

Here is the model with a headless driver.  I considered installing a female as the pilot in this model but didn’t have a usable torso with bust, therefore A street version pilot without a Helmut will be installed.  The kit comes with two different sets of chrome wheels, I carved out the inserts and will be using them to finish this model.

Very pleased with how well this car runs.  I think the headless driver would have been pulled over for high speed driving if the cops weren’t in lockdown mode ;-).

Thanks for looking.
