Mad Viking Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 This is the second one of these kits I've built. The first was for a friend but this one's mine. Tried to use a set of Keith Marks decals but it was way beyond my skills to get them to work so I used the kit decals with a couple of "6.6L" decals & "Trans Am" decal from the Keith Marks set. I wired the engine & scratch built a CB antenna from guitar string.
Rider Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Looks nice, very nice paint, and the dash is very well done. Nice hat, and CB antenna. From the look of the great job of the kit decals it would appear you have the skills for the after market decals.
John Clutch Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Looks great. And i like tge guitar string piece.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 You make the hat out of clay? Good looking model
High octane Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Great job on that Bandit build, and I've used guitar string several times for antennas.
V8 Trucker Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 successful Movie Car, the hat is the finishing touch
Mike C Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Nice build. The hat's a nice touch. I think that movie got a lot of those Firechickens sold too.
Janne Herajärvi Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Very nice... I have one bandit model kit on my shelf..
Ben Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Beautiful build!!! I would display it with his hat sitting on top of the CB antenna like he had it in the movie when him and Frog were doin who knows what! LOL
Mad Viking Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 You make the hat out of clay? Good looking modelThe hat comes with the Revell kit. It's painted with Model Masters Fabric Tan spray paint.
Mad Viking Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 Beautiful build!!! I would display it with his hat sitting on top of the CB antenna like he had it in the movie when him and Frog were doin who knows what! LOLLol! Thanks...........& that is exactly the way I have it displayed.
Ben Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Lol! Thanks...........& that is exactly the way I have it displayed. Cool! Is this the kit that includes the hat?
Mad Viking Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 Cool! Is this the kit that includes the hat? YUP!
slusher Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Great Trans AM Mike, I can hear Jerry Reed in the back ground...
disconovaman Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 I picked up this kit with the intentions of building a pro touring car with white lighting paint and Renee's20bird decals but now that I see this build I'm thinking of a movie car replica. It looks like it builds up nicely. It's a fantastic job on a Iconic Pontiac muscle car. Heres a pic of my original plan for this trans-am.
Hubert Rollins Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Very nice job... this is one I've definately gotta do one day!!
