Model Builders?
Model Builders?
After watching e-bay etc. I finally found,in stock,in Hong Kong,a 1985 T/A model,now I just need to source some correct colour decals and the right spoiler to build a match for my real car.

Re: Model Builders?
This site has a ton of OEM color matches for model builders.

They should have something close to what you are looking for. Otherwise, I'd check auto parts stores and see if Duplicolor made a touch up paint for it.

Re: Model Builders?
I've been looking for years for something like that,can you post the site where you got it.
Re: Model Builders?
I found it on e-bay,many model sites list it only to be out of stock when you want to order it.
According to the seller he has at least one more currently listed-

Re: Model Builders?
It only has the wrap wing,but it isn't mounted,I'll cut it down or find another somewhere,it also is a body/interior/chassis only kit,hood does not open but it's the closest thing I could find to my car to build a shelf replica.

Re: Model Builders?
Thats about what mine cost,funny,I was at an old friends house,doing a snowmobile deal and I mentioned I found that kit,I said I needed some rallye II wheels for it to make it like mine.
Turns out,he never stopped building models,he pulled out his wheel box and dug up 4 1/24 or 1/25 rallye wheels for me.

Re: Model Builders?
Here is a pic of a couple I did awhile back. The red one is like my car and the black one is a convertible I made from another t-top model like my car's. I made another vert in white to match a friends, but the black looks much better. (sorry, pic sucks)

Re: Model Builders?
I think I took a spoiler from another kit for the base model spoiler, but it's been so long I can't remember which. It may have been from another Bird model, a Fiero model or a Mach I, they are similar and also some 70's Cudas had a flat spoiler too. They made a 1991-2 T/A model and a few from other year Birds, so keep your eyes open.

Re: Model Builders?
Just doing a quick look for a Camaro and I found an 85 and 91 'Bird if this is of any help to anyone. I'm not a model builder but just thought I'd see what was out there. I hope this helps somebody.
