Nick Winter Posted July 28, 2012 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
davyou5 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Freak'in Awsome!! I just asked about this model on the "General Forums" too. . So is this reissue a pretty good kit?? I have been wanting to built this model as it is the most popular car of my Birth year. .
Nick Winter Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Yes it was a good kit to work with, it has it's flaws and gripes, but overall I enjoyed it. Nick
hgbben Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Car looks great. I have the same issue but the bodu on mine looks as if it was crushed in the box.
davyou5 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Yes it was a good kit to work with, it has it's flaws and gripes, but overall I enjoyed it. Nick Okay thanks alot! I will go ahead and buy this kit at my earliest convienence .
Scuderia Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 yeah thats lookin pretty nice. that Cardinal Red sits nice on it. great stuff
mikemodeler Posted July 28, 2012 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!
Lownslow Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 thats a not a true T/A the colors are all wrong, jk looks great in something other than gold and black
TooOld Posted July 29, 2012 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 ?
Helix Posted July 29, 2012 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
Volvoman Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Really nice work on your Trans am, the red certainly makes a change from black. Good work and well done.
PARTSMARTY Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR BUILDS.YOU KEEP GETTING BETTER & BETTER.CONGRATULATIONS.!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT'S NEXT.
Nick Winter Posted July 29, 2012 Author 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
W-Machine Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Nice job Nick, looks really good. But NJ plates? Whatsa matter, you don't like Jersey?
Harry P. Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 That looks like a "Jersey" style car to me. I can see J-Woww and "the situation" cruising around in it...
Nick Winter Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Got nothin' against Jersey, just love my home.
W-Machine Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 That looks like a "Jersey" style car to me. I can see J-Woww and "the situation" cruising around in it... 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.
