Chevrolet Vega/Pontiac Astre
Posted by AZbuilder on Thursday, July 10, 2008 12:09 AM

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a AMT Twister Vega Kit which I think is turning out pretty good so far.   But, what I really want to make is a recreation of a 1976 Pontiac Astre that I owned.   Since there is a lack of Astre kits available I need to get a resin 1973 Vega kit available from Bandit Resin and do some modifications to make it a Astre.  Here is my problem the vega kit has no engine and I am wondering if there is anyplace that sells 1/25 - 1/25 scale engine kits more to the point a 140 inline 4 engine so I can put it in the engine compartment instead of leaving it empty.   I hope there is someone who can help this modeler.
