Nick Winter Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Bought this kit in December, just finished it now, started it around January. Revell Re-issue from last fall. Plastikote primer, Duplicolor GM Cardinal Red, Duplicolor Clear, Scratch X 2.0 Polish. BMF, Some LLumar 1:1 Window Tint, Monogram '69 GTO Rallye II's. I'm pleased with it, still have some very small things to do, for now. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuderia Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 yeah thats lookin pretty nice. that Cardinal Red sits nice on it. great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nice job Nick! The only flaw I see is that it looks like you have air shocks on all 4 corners but if I remember correctly, that is an inherent problem with the kit. I like the wheels, never did like those snowflake wheels that came on those cars. Your skills continue to improve and impress, keep at it!

TooOld Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 That's a real beauty ! Reminds me of the 1:1 I had new in '77 . Bright red T/A with no screamin chickin on the hood ! I also never liked the honeycomb wheels on them . Yours are a nice change . Is that window tint easy to use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Good work mate, I bought this kit myself only to find no 'Trans Am' decals on the sheet have to go aftermarket I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoman Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Really nice work on your Trans am, the red certainly makes a change from black. Good work and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Winter Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Thank you everyone, I seen a '76 T/A in Cardinal Red last fall and I loved the look of it, so I built this car nearly Identical but using the '78 kit. Bob, the window tint does have a bit of a learning curve to it, but I had my buddy who I got the tint from, Torie (owns FX Tint), show me how to use it. Nick Edit: Bruce- It will have my native plates soon enough (Ontario). Edited July 29, 2012 by Nick Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually live minutes away from where the show was filmed. The boorish yahoos of "Jersey Shore" in NO WAY represent the year-round inhabitants. But yeah, the car does look like something I've seen in real life around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
