Yeah, so it's not an original line..

I just finished up a 1/24 model of my T/A, Right down to the license plates and the B&M Megashifter. What do you think?

(Yeah, it's geeky to spend that much time on a model car, but it's winter, and it's too cold to work on the big one)

SpeedCat86

I thought this was a cool pic of both cars together. More stuff on the build-up at http://public.fotki.com/Ironfish653/...ecret_project/

megaracerx

other then the wheels, its exact.

theyre the same

SpeedCat86

Okay, so I cheated there. I used 5-hole Konig (sp?) wheels on the model, because I couldn't find any decent looking 8-hole rims like the big car.

nick418

LOL it looks pretty the same to me! hey its pretty damn good job you did nice firebird too

nick418

How'd you do the hood?

I tried that last year and it was a disaster. lol I suck at model

SpeedCat86

Thanks, guys, the car actually came from two kits, a '90 GTA Notch-back that was pretty well trashed, got me all of the GFX, wing, bumpers and chassis/interior, the rest of the body was reworked from a '92 'Pro-Street' Firebird. I found the GTA at a swap meet, the '92 came from my Hobby Shop.

The hood? A cut-up Powerbulge hood, some sheet plastic, and lots of filling and sanding.

83_Camaro_83

He fabbed it up mostly, like the hood an stuff

I had an 82 camaro model, detailed every peice, then painted it, set it outside to dry and it blew away when i found it there was grass an dirt all of it, and the paint was dry. Thats the last model i ever attempted

that is so awesome! I'm really impressed with how you fabricated the Ram Air hood. Now you have to make little t-tops for it. hehe

NastyL98_T/A

Look on ebay, they're all over there. I've bought close to 20 in the past year or so. The monogram '88 T/A's are the rarest, you're gonna pay more for them. The AMT/Ertl '92's are everywhere and the formulas and Ertl T/A's are easy to find. Expect to pay $8-$35 for them. The 1/8 IROC's come up every now and then. The original one from '87 will bring close to $200, but the later version offered again in the late '90's (98-99) goes for about $100. I picked up a parts lot of 1/8 IROC's for $40, but I still need quite a few pieces to make a complete kit.

devianb

Looks great, I should build a mini thirdgen of every one of my ideas I have for them, then again I'd need a warehouse for that.

91rsowner4life

hey black90rs where did you get that car is ther a web site? what web sites do you guys get all these parts for your cars?

savagevulcan

sweet job man! i made a model of a 69 z28 about a month ago and it turned out pretty good but i would have preferred an 82 Trans Am or KITT cause that is the only one they sell of the early firebirds-with a different front bumper of course.

NastyL98_T/A

Read the post and you'll see that he got the kits from a swap meet and his local hobby shop. He made the hood himself. The kits are hard to find, but they're out there.

91rsowner4life

ES87iroc

Wow, just wow.

robertfrank

iTrader: (27)

i got my wheels from a 64 gto and i got the hood scoop from a 35th camaro ss.i don`t really like how the hood came out but it`s the best i could do with what i had.the gold part on the wheels i colored in with a gold flake marker.

91rsowner4life

nice job:hail: i was just woundering if there was a place where you could buy the parts like a catloge or web site or something like that so you would not have to buy a hole model for just one part. is there anything like that?

NastyL98_T/A

Have you read the post or just looked at all the pretty pictures? The answer to your question in in the above replies.

LOL! .......That was great!

Anyways, sorry about your luck.....

18inchboyds
