Chuck Most Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'm just going to call it done before that damned black side trim drives me nuts. It's the old MPC kit with Pegasus wheels, all the nutty IMSA-style body add-ons, and a turbocharged Oldsmobile Northstar V8. One of these days I'll get the trim touched up. A less-conspicuous muffler may also end up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Looks good. I had an Fiero Formula once upon a time, it was a pretty cool little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Looks like a fun project. Good to see a scarce kit get built. Feel your pain regarding neatly painting the trim, I try to avoid any brush painting if possible. I've masked and airbrushed window trim before.

Obviously not, but it would(as I said! ) become a Cadillac POWERED Buick, yes!?! And I am sure you don't have a `38 Buick kit!!! David S.

BigTallDad Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) So, back to my original question: is it a Fiero (according to the topic title) or an Oldsmobile (according to the trunk)? Edited May 30, 2019 by BigTallDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
