Mold is marked: Revell 1988 Made in USA

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Something gives me the feeling that the subject is from either USA or Japan.

My initial educated guess, and a bit of follow up Google and Wiki Fu, is its a 10th gen Ford BlThunderbird.

The Thunderbirds on the tail lights are a big indicator.

I was looking on Scalemates and the Revell timeline for Thunderbirds is all screwed up. They have '87 cars mixed in with the 50s version. And street cars with stock car racing machines. Can't make sense of it to determine if the kit was made in 1988.

That's a 1988 Ford thunderbird coupe..had a 3.8 ltr v6 engine..rear wheel drive.

Late 88 or later, I suspect.

These (or better: their silhouette) were also used at NASCAR until the mid-Nineties, IIRC.

Thanks! These people are like Sherlock Holmes

That would probably be because Scalemates's timeline reflects when the kits were released, not the real thing, and is not grouped by subject type but by kit manufacturer Though I admit they can get hard to follow for kits that have seen a lot of reissues and derivates.

Scalemates is nowhere near as good for car kits as it is for aircraft.

Scalemates's timeline for (what I think is) this kit doesn't look too bad to me, if I'm honest:
