Dragline Posted Thursday at 11:19 PM Posted Thursday at 11:19 PM A car I liked quite a bit when new. We ended up with a 4 cylinder Jeep Wrangler that my wife fell in love with. Not sure of a color yet. Something light and bright with a light interior. Windshield and roof are one big clear piece. I like the interior engineering on this one. The chassis is also nice. Not sure about the chrome water pump though. What were they thinking? Light detailing and smooth paint are on tap. Just a car I always liked. Understated, yet still quick. 2
iamsuperdan Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM I had a '95 Camaro Z28 Convertible a few years ago. Excellent car, very similar to the Firebird Formula. Still miss that car. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this. 1
DJMar Posted Friday at 12:07 AM Posted Friday at 12:07 AM I do love a 4th gen 'Bird, especially ones prior to the '98 refresh. I never built this particular kit, but it looks like a winner. AMT was cranking out some good stuff in the mid-90s. 1
Simo5555 Posted Friday at 07:11 AM Posted Friday at 07:11 AM Ooh, i'll keep an eye on this 😁I'm actually quite a huge fan of old firebirds 1
Dragline Posted Saturday at 12:22 PM Author Posted Saturday at 12:22 PM Progress made on the chassis and motor. I've decided on Stoplight Red Metallic in the little Testors bottle. Tan interior should complement it. The paint for the chassis has an undercoating effect. This paint has been discontinued (of course). It has a great finish that looks like scale undercoating . I'm gonna miss it like Testors buffing Metalizers. 4
espo Posted Saturday at 05:14 PM Posted Saturday at 05:14 PM Like the chassis and engine detailing. 1
slusher Posted Sunday at 05:20 PM Posted Sunday at 05:20 PM Looking very nice. Stop light red will really look nice on your model.. 1

Dragline Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago Regular ole flocking. It's on the floor in the interior as well.
Dragline Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago Forgot the wheels. Stripped the chrome and went with AK Extreme Metal polished aluminum. Good stuff. Ready to spray, no thinning needed. 2
