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?
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
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.
