Monogram 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula

[polybius]

This Monogram 1/24 scale '92 Firebird Formula was a companion build to the '82 Trans-Am.  It is box stock except for some flocking to match the interior.  Since it was built from the 1990s Monogram release that came only with dark Formula decals, I sourced an updated decal sheet from the more recent Revell reissue that included a silver decal option.  The newer decal sheet also had some of the correct decals in black for the '82, so it was a worthwhile investment.  The original windows were clear in these later issues, but the earlier 80s versions were tinted.  I went with the tinted windows for this build and swapped the clear units into the '82.  

The color is Dupli-Color Dark Green Metallic to closely match one of the two shades of dark green offered in 1992 on the Firebird.  It assembled without much fuss as many of these 80s-90s Monogram kits did.  1982 and 1992 were the bookend years for the 3rd generation F-body, and Monogram offered a few updated kits across the decade.  While I'm glad to finish up both this one and the '82, I'm still looking forward to diving into the '85 Trans-Am and the '87 GTA.  Until then, these two birds make a nice pairing in the display case.

Both look great.

If you need any reference pics of the '85, I have one I could take pics of for you. 

I also have a couple custom made '85 decals sets left I could trade, if you need one .

I've built the 87'Gta and the 85'T/A,both are nice kits,but on the 85',the bottom stripes don't quite follow the body contours.

I have a soft spot for the 92 Formula, as I owned and raced a low 11 second EFI Formula. (Hence my username)

After looking at your beautiful build, it makes me want to build one of these to represent my old car. 
 

Your build looks like the real car.
