happy grumpy Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 This is the re-issued Monogram firebird under the Revell brand. I always liked the firebirds, every generation had their own appeal. The 1970 being in my very subjective opinion one of the best looking Firebird. A friend of my father's bought one brand new in 1970 i was 13 years old and every time he stopped by the house, I would drool over that car . I replicated the color on this model. Typical Monogram ease of assembly and detailing but once built, it gives a nice representation at least for display on a shelve. The only thing I had trouble with was the front piece. Not perfect but it turned out ok I guess. Thanks for your time. 10 2
atomicholiday Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Man that looks great! I agree with you. The ‘70 is one of the best Trans Ams.?
michelle Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Nice work I have never been a fan the firebirds i thought they were the ugly knock off camaro wannabes I have always preferred the Camaros of ever generation they have of them but recently I have grown to like the 3rd gen trans ams with t-tops and I love one particular custom black 82 trans am t-top and that is the one that talks and has a bunch of gadgets and modes built in an in most cases indestructible and can go 300 miles a hour in one of the modes and that trans am is the knight industries 2000 or KITT if you prefer
XYHARRY Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Nice Firebird Mario. I have this kit in my stash and hope it turns out as nice as yours. Well done. Cheers, David. ??
ncbuckeye67 Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Wow, your backdrops are just as amazing as the builds are!
espo Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Like the showroom style finishes and trim. These were and still are one of the better-looking birds.
karbuildr Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Very nice factory stock build of this particular year T/A. I've owned 3 of these cars over the years but never a 1970. They look good in just about any color but the original white with blue stripes is classic. Yours is very well done and you did a good job on the front fascia, which isn't the best fit. And as always, your photo background is excellent.

ea0863 Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Aaah, the 70's! I love your homage to the era. Well built as usual! 1
TransAmMike Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Looks great Mario, and whats not to love about the '70 TA (or any TA?) Very nice build? 1
xbazzarex Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 very cool, this color scheme is iconic. Glad to see the kit is decent, ive been looking at it for quite a few months and just havent pulled the trigger. I had a 72 Formula 350 id love to try and replicate. 1
bill_67 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Beautiful bird, great build thank you for posting it! 1
Brudda Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Great job! As a kid was never a fan of firebirds. My cousin bought one , and when I drove it I fell in love. I had 2 of them and am presently looking for another. He still has his 1970 . I had a 1976 and a 1979. Great build sir and I. Really love those birds! 1
