Coors Melling Thunderbird restoration

Recommended Posts

Nearly finished my restoration of the Marui Coors Melling Thunderbird . The body needed some repair work so it has been painted on the outside , but won't be run in anger so it's ok . I have a new original decal set to go on and a new set of gold wheels / tyres

Looks great!

Good find with the new wheels.

I got a repo body, actually doesn't look too bad , although I've to paint it yet!

Hi Wooders

Thanks for the comment .

I toyed with the idea of a TBG body , this one was new just cut out badly - hence the repairs - so I decided to give it a go . The wheels are like hens teeth to find . I got these from the USA a few years ago

I've been keeping my eye out, but I'm not sure I'm willing to pay the King's ransom for them!
