Anyone know if they ever made a model of the square Fox-Birds? I'd love to get one if they did.

The only ones I've seen were the NASCAR ones.

Or maybe I'm imagining that.

Only the Hodgdon(?) and Wrangler t-bird models are around, they're the same kit just different decals. 81/82 style.

You can get the kits on ebay pretty easy, I have a few of them stashed away for when/if I take up model building again.

They did as well in nascar as they did in showrooms lol.

im sure ive seen a py quality model kit for the squarebird, not a nascar one either. may have been a large kit.
there is a decent model shop near me(within walking distance) maybe when i get the time ill go check since ive been thinking about picking up a kit to pass some time(a non-ford one incase you care)

On a completely unrelated note...that's and neat shot of ole Ironhead...that was nasty wreck, caused him some back problems for several years, IIRC...

On topic:
Wonder how feasible it would be for some of the more hardcore modelers here to craft a resin body of an '83-84-85-or 86 Tbird?
As well as the aforementioned Box Birds?

I'd throw money out for a resin cast '85 or '86.... :D

Here's something to work with at least for the 83-86 body

Rats... My idea was to do a little cutting on one to make a 2-seat convertible. Think square-bird panels on an asc/McLaren convertible and you'd have my idea.

Still, might work pretty well in full scale, eh?
