I will call Him 'Mini-Me!' (Cloning my T/A)
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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
