Nice job. I'm just about to start this one. Still not sure what color to paint. As I understand it they came in a few different colors originally.

Nice trim work...

Thanks for all the nice comments... my skills are improving Cheers DanL

Forgot to show the hood open...

I owned a 701/2 Z28 before the Trans Am. The Z was by far the most exciting but it was set up as Pro Street car... Traction bars, 4.11's, cheater slicks, air shocks and heavily modified 350 LT1 engine that I could never get to idle below 1000 rpm... super fast and super reliable. The Trans Am was mostly stock and really felt more like a stump puller than the Camaro, but was still a sexy car and very rare. Going to build a duplicate of my old Z28 but I have to refine my skills a bit more because it's going to need quite a bit of modifications and aftermarket parts.

Thanks... I think the steering wheel turned out just right but I should have painted the inside ring on the gauges in black. Have to get some proper blue for the scoop

Very nice build... I'm just starting on a 65 chevy SS. Trying to duplicate the one I had as a kid. Mine was red with a blue interior. Great memories! Cheers

Owned one of these in the late 70's. Mine was blue with black interior but I think the white version was nicer. Model turned out well except for the hood scoop color which doesn't match the stripes. Cheers

Looks Great... I just picked up the model and plan to build in Dark green (think Bullitt mustang)... I guess the decals are a real chore to get on. Cheers

Real nice...

Nice work! What number is that great Tamiya blue you panted the body in ? Reminds me of Laguna Seca Blue from the M3.

Had a ride in a real one of these (68 Hemi Dart) when I was 13. I guess it must have left a big impression on me because I really wanted to build this model. Unfortunately I can't spend the 1/4 million dollars to buy an original one. Very cool cars.

Tamiya orange TS-12... took a lot of coats but it really smooths out nicely. I didn't put any clear on it.

Another Pic....

Another pic...

Thanks to everyone. I made quite a few mistakes but I learned a lot so my next one should go much easier. I've got a 1970 Trans Am on the table ready to begin. I owned a real one in the late 70's for about 3 years. Cheers Dan L

Just completed...

I think I'll try to build all the important cars I have owned over the years. There's a few cool ones

I think I did a better job than my last one at age 12! Cheers DanL
