signmike Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 When I look back, I realise a lot of nice cars have been forgotte. That's why I decided to build a few Firebirds...This is the 25th Anniversary edeition... I love white cars and this one was painted GM real white. I made the blue metallic stripes with my ALPS printer. The car is built box stock but I added plug wires and seat bealts. I think it would be a missing detail otherwise.

kelson Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Looks real nice!,the only thing the kit misses on is no rear side marker Iights,the Camaro kits have the same problem for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVZ2881 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Beautiful build!!The Torque arm is on wrong though. It should go beside the driveshaft on the drivers side, not underneath the driveshaft.I have a 1:1 '95 in my garage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian-w Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) The engine details looking very good!Could it be, that this is the Revell / Monogramm kit? I noticed the missing rear side marker as well and had to check my Firebirds (all by AMT/ERTL) whether I missed them to. But they are right there so I guess, Revell missed it.Sadly, the front bumper doesn't fit properly. Another issue by the model kit to take care before painting. I solved this while I cement the front bumper before I paint the body. So I can set my hand to it to close the gap.I still have the model kit in my shelve by AMT. Maybe someday it'll be next to my built ones. Edited August 24, 2015 by christian-w Spelling mistakes, new thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signmike Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 The Torque arm is on wrong though. It should go beside the driveshaft on the drivers side, not underneath the driveshaft. Thanks for pointing that, I'll do the correction. Except me maybe..I took a few pics of it at the show, and i'm impressed with this build!!It is awesome, nice work!!Good , glad to see it created some interest, thanks for mentioning, Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
