Bit of an oddity this one. The box says its a Turbo Firebird. The instruction say its a Trans Am. Comes with a non turbo hood and engine, yet has Turbo wheels. Also has a hardtop roof so not sure if that was a Trans am or Firebird thing. It HAD lake pipes as well. So, I cut off the lake pipes, found some snowflake 78 TA wheels so it is now a definate non turbo 79. However the decals were crap. The moment they left the paper to be applied they shrivelled and curled up like some had applied a heat gun to them. Never had that happen. So I used a few 78 TA decals I had left, hence why theres no decals on the front wings and boot lid. I scratch built some tail pipes as well. I find it weird that Monogram totally missed out doing a proper 79- 80 TA kit when they had done the 78 and 81 turbo. Anyway, quite pleased with it. Its a replica of the big 1/8 one I built as a kid.1979 Pontiac Trans Am.(monogram snap kit) by Modelmadness, on Flickr1979 Pontiac Trans Am.(monogram snap kit) by Modelmadness, on Flickr1979 Pontiac Trans Am.(monogram snap kit) by Modelmadness, on Flickr
Wow that looks great. I'd swear it was the real thing!
Thanks,

Great job. I owned a 75 TA years ago and the detailing you did is perfect. I like it.
Very nice build!

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Hopefully Revell will release a 75.
Shuuuweeeet!! I've seen this kit on the shelves a few times at HL. I'd really like to do one of these older TA's but will most likely build it in 1/25 scale.
Beautiful rendition of this beauty of a car.
