davyou5 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hello everyone, Well after a long period of being absent, I have finally returned. . and I just got hired on to a new job Finally!! Well I have been thinking once again about starting the hobby back up and finishing off one project build that I have had on the back burner for some time. . But my mother reminded me about the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 1978', since it was the most popular car of my Birth year. . . I do want to start such a project, but since many of my tools, paints, and other things were thrown out, I have to rebuy everything fresh. . But I wanted to ask the community, whats the best or better Model Kit (And company) for just such a car? I like Revell, but many of AMT's models were either major disaster's or just total failures, especially in it's tooling or mold injected parts. . . If I am to look for this car as a future project I do want to get some feed back or market research on which of the company's has a better model for the car if it was made in that year at all?? Much appreciated. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhawg Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) If T-tops make a difference, the AMT/MPC kits have the Hurst tops (which would be right for a Bandit T/A), the Revell kit has the Fisher tops. If it doesn't matter, definitely the Revell kit. Edited July 28, 2012 by roadhawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 David, you may also want to find the Revell die-cast '77 Trans Am, like the one Jon Cole built: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60746 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
