Hawk312 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yes, an `83 Trans Am...no laughing This was a really quick build (again). Sorry I dont have more pics. My camera is really bad at capturing light colored cars fro some reason. This was the kit that started it all for me, almost 30 years ago. It was fun to build, and brought back lots of memories...

Skydime Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It really does look like a KITT...err...starter kit. Actually, wasn't there an episode where they rebuilt KITT and he was white when first put back together? Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk312 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks guys! It really does look like a KITT...err...starter kit. Actually, wasn't there an episode where they rebuilt KITT and he was white when first put back together? Nice job! Haha, yeah, he was in gray primer though. I forget exactly what happened to him. What was funny though was, while he was in gray primer in the garage, Michael (David Hasslehoff) held up a spray gun and said something to the effect of "the finishing touch." He then proceeds to start painting KITT black, no paint mask, no masking the windows, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How 'bout a shot of all three of your 3rd Gen Pontiac F-bodies together, please? This one is gorgeous, just like the other two you've shown here, David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can post pics of each of them. Here you go: Edited November 7, 2012 by Hawk312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Very nice build David! I think your photos are very good. My camera won't pick up the shine on white at all. At least your photos show that your model has a good shine on it. I remember when these cars came out and how I disliked the wheels on them. They look like a Turbo T/A wheel with a cheap plastic hub cap on them which is what they basically were. BTW, who was the maker on this kit?

Scale-Master Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Super clean. It is so crisply done looks much larger than 1/25. With the right background it could be a "Real or Model" contender with no Photoshopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realgone58 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Wow! Super, super paint jobs! They pass for 1:1's. I didn't laugh at the '83, I actually want to build one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
