It's not just the "bubble" that's different, the nose is longer on the later Firebird/Trans Am bodies too and things like the wheel openings and back sections are shaped differently, so to do a Skoal Bandit car with a correct appearence you need the whole body.
The body Revell did  wich was Prudhommes car 1984-85 and the earlier Pepsi Challenger Trans Am from 1982-83 had the same body.

And one of the later Skoal Bandit cars from 1987 or 1988.

The nose of the body was changed even during the Pepsi-Wendy's sponsorship , this must be 1985 because he took a year off 1986 due to lack of sponsorship.
This one is not the same as the Skoal Bandit bodies, just the earlier body with a longer nose.
