    Nice and beautiful! Like all the details around the model kit. The seats looking fantastic too!

    Funny that we choose the same color - yellow, bro

    I don't like the grille and headlights but this is my problem The Ford looks great! Beautiful matching of the colors and deep on the road. Great!

    It's a kind of funny, when I look into the engine bay Why? When I look into the compartment on my real car, there is not half as much space between the cylinder head and wheel house. Who knows, where the problem is here. When you look at the engine of AMTs counter part, the engine of Monograms Pontiac looks like they took the 1/25 of AMT and put it in the Monogram kit (1/24) Interessting btw. Thank you I like Firebirds.

    Now when I see the pictures: lovely! This hot rod is awesome! The paint is incredibly nice.

    That's right - with the exhaust. I drove my Aerodeck / Wagon 11 years. It had the F20B3 engine. But the Exhaust was at the front and the intake manifold at the back. I found a website with the (little) history of the car: http://honda-tech.com/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/history-jtcc-jaccs-mooncraft-h22a-accord-3012316/ The engine is a H22A with 280 HP. That's cool

    I don't see them too

    Thanks Andre, Stray and Tom! One "problem" of the model kit is the space in my display cabinet. Because they aren't wide enough, they are divided into two cabinets but in the same high Tom, you are right. My Formula was produced for export (EXP) and has no mileage or °F on it's instrument. It has kilometers and °C (U18). When you look at the picture you'll notice the little white lights at the bottom corner in the bumper. This is because it wasn't allowed to have amber parking lights at the front in Germany. The light bulbs in the sidemarkers, 3rd breaklight and both middle rear light were taken out. Funny. It was the first, I made: make him American The condition is pretty good except the faded paint. Some dents and little rust spots were here and there but I sanded and preserved it against more rusting. What else will I say to it? It's original all over like it's written on the RPO Codes sticker. No power windows, no power mirrors, but 5.0 TPI (LB9). The rear deck spoiler is built back to the airowing. It's cool anyway

    My Mini is painted already The interior is prepared to paint like the rest of it. The end is near

    Thank you for your kind words Since I own a Formula (sadly not in that good shape like the model kits but still original) I'm a big fan of it. I fulfilled a dream and still love it. I'd say: it's the most unnecessary "thing" on German roads but it's so awesome cool and the sheer power always gives me a smile on my face. I'm looking so badly forward to get my Bird on the road again when it turns 30 years.... @Jonathan .. When I'm right: is that a Formula in your signature? This hood and car would be cool to in the line.

    Perfect comment - really. It made me laughing Thank you all for the nice words! When I had them on my car transporter, this green car looks very nice between them. Maybe because the other three haven't clear coat on them. Sadly because I was young and wasn't sure it'll will work with the decals and colors I used for painting. Today I'm a bit wiser and had a lot of experiences during the years. On the other three Accords the main colors are also painted via airbrush. You can believe me, that it was a hard way to mask the JACCS Accord (and I love it anyway because it's so colorfull ) Nevertheless, someday I could give them a makeover or built another three - still have them in the shelf.... Who knows. Because of the stones on the way to it, I like it a little more. The colors are nice and the golden trim is shiny enough. It turned out pretty good. The feedback feels good and motivates to go on

    It is nice! The rear light looking really great! I'd paint the door handles gloss black and than it'll be ok. In my opinion. The fact, that I don't like that huge rear deck spoiler either, I would put it so the Firebird. It looks a little naked without it. But this spoiler looks much better than that rubberthing on my Formula

    Thank you so much for your comments I have a little issue. I have the problem that I have enough ideas but it's mostly impossible to make them come true. I do really hard sometimes but when it's started and it flows, than it goes fast. That was the same with this Dodge. Thank you!

    I wouldn't attach caps

    Thank you for your attention. Like I wrote at the beginning: There will be follow another Trans Am for sure. The 1986 GTA is already in the shelf Comments are welcome

    After a break of two years I build the 1983 Trans Am. 1982 Pontiac Firebird 1/25 MPC #1-0808 When I bought it, it had some damages at the sides. and the roof was deformed.... ...and one of the bumper inlays was missing. So I made both sides by my own.

    Again the jump to the 1st generation. I never liked the nose of this candidate. Sadly for my project I sold all my 69er T/A in the past. Built and unbuilt. So I had to get another one for my project. I bought it on ebay.com. Here it is now. 1969 Pontiac Firebird 400 RamAir 1/25 AMT #6123 Built OOB with BMF and some wiring. Nothing else.

    Funny that I still haven't built a 1988 Formula But the first Trans Am of the 3rd generation. That's allright at this point It is one of the following two kits. I don't know which one. Why? I got a bundle of MPC Knight Riders KITT and the body was in the package. I grabbed the rest for the Trans Am out of my spare parts box! Unbelievable but true. I swear. 1992 Pontiac Firebird GTA 1/25 AMT #6158 oder 1991 Pontiac Firebird GTA 1/25 AMT #6025 It turned out as I supposed: good enough for the shelf. OOB to be sure.

    After some modern stuff it was time to go to an older Trans Am 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 RamAir 1/25 (Revell-Monogram #85-2342) Some modifications where done: BMF at the window frames, lettering and logos. It worked not good at the trunk so the letters are sanded to plastic (light grey thou) But: it's ok for me. The engine got some wiring
