Identity should be established in layers: title first, then vendor, then SKU, then the photographed details. The scale marker 1:87 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 1956 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. For this record, F977-87TH56008 is the compact reference that can be checked against invoices and packaging.
Evidence taken from the live record
The live record provides the following product-specific information: “1956 Ford Thunderbird in Raven Black with Fiesta Red top by Oxford Diecast. This 1:87 HO scale diecast model is intended for layouts and collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact trim, wheels and packaging. Item: 87TH56008.” The wording is treated as a source excerpt, not as a substitute for independent fit, scale or condition checks.
The category-specific decision
For a diecast or scale collectible, the subject name alone is insufficient. Compare body casting, finish, graphics, wheel design, interior, base markings and packaging format. On 1956 Ford Thunderbird Raven Black/Fiesta Red – Oxford 1:87, the exact photo set and SKU F977-87TH56008 are the reference pair; a model with the same vehicle name but a different wheel, road number or package is a different release.
Condition language must also match the format. A loose item is judged from the photographed surfaces and axles, while a packaged item adds card, blister, box and seal condition. A finished custom should be assessed for workmanship and disclosed modifications; a build kit should be assessed for included parts and fitment rather than as a completed collectible.
Second-pass inspection
Similar diecast products often differ in small, high-value details. Review the wheel spokes, tire profile, base color, glazing, interior, license or race markings and package code. The aim is not to assign a grade from a distance but to confirm that the delivered item matches the release purchased.
Display and handling should follow the format: loose models need nonabrasive separation, packages need edge and blister protection, and project cars need a documented baseline before disassembly.
The photographed item is part of the specification
The photographed item is part of the specification. With 3 images indexed, a buyer can compare color, form, labels, contents and visible condition before relying on a shortened title. Save the image that best shows the identifier F977-87TH56008.
The short decision checklist
- Match the full title and F977-87TH56008.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
- Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
- Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.

Gift considerations
As a gift, 1956 Ford Thunderbird Raven Black/Fiesta Red – Oxford 1:87 is strongest when the recipient already uses this scale, format, subject or product family. Check for duplicates and fit-sensitive details before choosing it solely from the brand name.

A final exact-item review

The vendor is Oxford Diecast, the listed product type is Scale Model Cars, and the working SKU is F977-87TH56008. Save those fields together rather than relying on a thumbnail or shortened name.

Record anything that affects this exact item: selected option, package condition, quantity received, fit result, installation notes or visible variation.
