Mike 1017 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 This 77 T/A build was inspired by my friend Tulios [lovefordgalaxie] amazing box stock builds.This is the most modern car that I have built so far.The HOK Black Basecoat was colored sanded many times,cleared coated,and finally waxed and polished with Mothers products Thanks for looking Mike
Dragline Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 What an eye burner!!! Fantastic paint bro. Bob
disabled modeler Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 real nice!...I always had trouble with the pinstripe decals...looks great!
Danno Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Nice. I have one in my 'to-do' stash. What problems did you encounter with the hood? Edited February 16, 2014 by Danno
Mike 1017 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Because of the way that the hood attaches to the body. I did not want to try and remove it because the hinges are fragile and would probably crack off . With hood on I can't see what is preventing the hood not to close all the way. I think that I might glue the hood shut.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I feel honored to be the inspiration for this stunning build Mike!!! Box stock and factory stock can be fun!! What about a 1/25 scale Burt Raynolds figure to go with it? By the way, I see nothing wrong enough with the hood to justify gluing it down Mike.
hgbben Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Beautiful paint and final result. I have this kit in my stash. IMO this kit could of been much better than how it is.
Speedpro Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Fantastic looking firebird!. Your effort in the paint show's. Nice build

Zarana-X Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 "Trans AM, man! What's your pleasure?"Fantastic and shiny! Never seen the pinstripes go down this nice!
Belugawrx Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Man I missed this one Awesome paint and decal work!! PS don't glue the hood
Johnny1973 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Great looking Trans Am!Nice and smooth black paint job!
Hawk312 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 That looks fantastic! Is this the Revell kit? I may have to take a second look at that kit if it is. I was hesitant because of the box art. But that looks really nice!
Mike 1017 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Yes it is the Revell kit. I would recommend it. I know what you mean about box art. Sometimes the box art is so goofy looking it is hard to get past it. Thanks for the comment.
Hawk312 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I`m glad I`m not the only one who thinks the car on the box looks goofy. Another question for you. What was your method for getting the gold inserts in the honeycomb wheels.
