Hey there,
What do you guys think of this:
http://unclefalter.kicks-ass.net/~falter/88tbird/model/
A friend of mine did it for me. It's from that kit you often seen on ebay (in red).
Are there any larger scale model kits that you guys have come across for 87/88 TCs? Diecast even?

Yeah, I think he did a good job overall. The model is a Monogram.. which aren't usually very good, from what I hear. But I don't think anyone else has made one of a stock 87 TC.

Actually, Monogram is one of the best, Especially in the late 80's. The kit is extremely easy to find, examples on eBay can be had from $5 to $20 depending on bidding activity. And there is always about a dozen on market at any given time. Motorworks (A Wal-Mart exclusive brand) just re-released the kit in grey under the Revell name. (Revell bought out Monogram in the late 90's) A 1/10 kids toy 87/88 was made, a 1/43 die-cast, Matchbox made quite a few 1/64th TCs, and Life-Like made an HO scale slot car. There are others, but they are extremely rare. I have all of these in my collection.
