The 1/16th firebird really isn’t a great kit and they can still be had on the eBay market reasonably priced anyway. The 1/8 scale stuff is always pricey. I would love to see the 1/8 scale Trans Am reissued to kill the speculator market on those . I could put it next to my 1/8 scale Corvette and Camaro .....

Got the body primed and block sanded today. Had to rescribe the trunk lines . LOTS of mold lines to remove ... haven’t decided on a color yet . Blue just seems so cliche’ ....

The last 1/43 was a blast , so I jumped on eBay and bought the other kit in the set !

Round2 ran test shots of every tool???

Clearly Revell did the market reasearch . And as much as I’d like to see a stock bodied cad , I’ll take what I can get . It’s awesome kit , with lots of kitbashing potential ... quit yer complainin’ , nobody wants that negativity ...

Fitted the glass and interior tonight .... need one red taillight if anyone has one to spare ...

Need to add the radiator hose , mirrors and license plate , but this ones pretty much done ! Just couldn’t wait for a couple outside shots !

It’s true! I’ll grab a pic when I’m over that way again ...

wired up the motor today ... home stretch is in sight ...

Very carefully . It’s a decal under the gauges and clock . I painted the PE faces and then lightly sanded them with 1500 to remove the highlights. It’s not 100% correct as the center of the glove box should be completely silver , I may or may not correct that. I used regular CA adhesive to stick the PE parts on .

Painted up the wheels today , and finished up the interior ... started putting the PE on the body as well

Finished the dash and flocked the interior tonight ...

Setting the stance ...

Stock parts ?

I want this ..... badly
