Nick Winter Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 After a long wait here She is. Simple, AMT '78 kit Back dated some, added plug wires and battery cables, Keith Marks Decals, Duplicolor sandable primer with clear over it. Still need to add the plates.
Nick Winter Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 Now my car. There Blurry and frizzy It's my camera, I'm sorry
RodneyBad Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 The Bandits Ride is looking really good. Paint and decal job is really improving. Did you hand paint the 6.6 Liter on the scoop? Looks like spark plug wires needs to come down one more size tho. Great work.
roadhawg Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Nick, thats your best effort yet! That looks great! Pretty impressive considering that AIN'T the best building kit in the world. As soon as I saw the first pic, I thought "Bandit". But you DO need to get that Georgia plate on the front, I agree. Great job on an awesome car! I REALLY like!
Guest Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Very good work Nick, your skills are definatly getting better. This makes me want to do a build of this car. Like I really need to add another project, lol.

Thanks. Midnight Prowler- Thanks, it's a pretty good kit, and the Keith Marks decals are a very big improvement to the kit decals.
diymirage Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 it is a very nice kit let me rephrase, that, it is a very nice model (the kit itself is one of the worst i ever saw) but there are a few minor discrepancies for the movie car as mentioned before , your missing the front and rear license plates the indicator (think thats what they are) lenses in the front bumper are orange, they are clear in the movie car and i think (could be wrong on this one) that the CB is mounted in the wrong spot other then that its a good replica still a great TA regardless

And the CB anntenna is in the correct spot just look at the picture from the movie were the T/A is going over the median. And Thanks.
beefheart22 Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'.
diymirage Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Maybe your thinking of the '79 Trans Am kit, this one has no flaws that I saw. i would consider the gaping holes between the fender and inner fender flaws yes but how do you paint clear? And the CB anntenna is in the correct spot just look at the picture from the movie were the T/A is going over the median. i usually put a litte peice of bare metal foil down and if that is to shiny i dry brush it with white i acutally meant the CB radio, not the antenna im pretty sure in the bandit it is mounted underneath the dash instead of on the tunnel (i might be wrong on that one though) still, its a good looking TA

diymirage Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Oh ok, well I wasn't sure and couldn't find a decent picture so I guesed. its all good
Nick Winter Posted December 17, 2009 Author Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Got my Camera cleaned up some and fixed up some and ended up with these new pics, this is after a polish job too, still haven't put on my plates there's some stuff to fix and touch up, but it looks good if you ask me, also still need to ad my mirrors. still need to re route the exuast, and paint the door handles. Edited December 17, 2009 by Dukefan69'
MyBradKeselowski Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Love the Bandit Trans Am!!!! Great looking build Only two minor things I see: Bandit's Trans Am had white lettered tires, end tailpipe splitters are facing down not sideways. Other than my picky flaw's I think it's very nice... WHAT'S A TEXAS COUNTY MOUNTY DOIN IN ARKANSAS!!!!
Rick Schmidt Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Nick I'm glad ya posted up better pics so's we can see it better now. It's a very nice built one too Add the plates and there will be no doubt thats the Bandits car. Now when ya gonna build Snowmans rig ??
Guest Mustang3.8 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Bandit's Trans Am looks great, 'cuz. I'll get your plates sent out ASAP. I'll look for mirrors.
Nick Winter Posted December 17, 2009 Author Posted December 17, 2009 kaseykahne09- Haven't painted the letters yet also still need to do some stuff, and the pipes are now fixed. midknightx5- Just waiting for my plates to come, and I'll be building Snowmans rig when Revell reissues it this upcoming year and when AMT reissues the '40 refer trailer Mustang3.8- thanks Kevin, and no super rush like I said there's still some work to do.
MyBradKeselowski Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 kaseykahne09- Haven't painted the letters yet also still need to do some stuff, and the pipes are now fixed. Cool, I can't wait to see it with the tires and exhaust
Nick Winter Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 kaseykahne09- your wait is over. I fixed everything and added a few coats more of clear and have gotten to this point.
