jeffdeoranut Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I know there is a guy here who makes decals for these type of cars but I cannot remember his name. Any help appreciated. I have tried stuff for the Trans Am Hood if anyone has one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Keith Marks makes the decals and Missing Link used to do the resin '70-'76 T/A hood with shaker scoop but I haven't seen it listed for a few years. Jeff might still have some left. BTW, there was no '71-'76 Trans Am kit made in 1/25, [only 1/24 Monogram '70 and that funky Otaki '74]only the Formulas with the twin scoop hood.

Actually yes there was. It's rather rare but MPC did make it in a very short run. Edited May 30, 2021 by Phirewriter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have stated I was looking for decals for the super duty 455 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set may look a bit "off" but it's because I had them printed in a custom color combo not usually offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came out after the '71 Formula 400 annual kit, but before the '72. Rear bumper license plate reads 1971. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the valve cover decal, Keith does include one, along with a set of wheel center decals and a PONTIAC script decal on a small separate sheet. The SD 455 scoop decals are on the main sheet. I'm not aware of any other decals normally on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did know it was a mid-season kit but I thought it had come out between the '70 and '71. The '70 kit (which was called only "Firebird Formula 400") came out in early 1970 alongside the 1:1 car. February 1970 if I remember right. Same goes for the MPC '70 Camaro "Camaro Super Hugger" kit, which again did not have the year on the box. MPC usually issued two kits a year off of each annual kit body. The mid-year offering was often a funny car, but the '71 mid-year kits included the GTX (based on the Roadrunner), the Trans-Am (based on the Firebird 400), and the Dodge Demon (based on the Plymouth Duster).

Yes I was lucky and found an old Fred Katy decal sheet for a race car that had all the decals I needed except for the Trans Am between the tail lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
