1978 Pontiac Trans Am

[ismaelg]

Hello,

  This one is DONE! Or at least 99.999999%

This was a "quick" fun project. Despite been a "quick" one, I put some effort in it.

Monogram Snap-Tite Trans Am 1/32 scale

Paint: Cobra Colors Porsche Cobalt Blue lacquer over T235 primer
Interior: Rattle can Desert Sand

Mods:
Passenger grab handle
Shifter
Turn signal lever
key cylinder
Floor mats
Photoreduced 6x9 speakers
Glovebox key hole drilled
Molded side exhaust removed
Wire exhaust 
Resonators (classic cherry bombs)
Exhaust tips
Oil pan screw
Marker lights (home printed)
License plate
Inspection/registration sticker (windshield)
Scratchbuilt inside rearview mirror (typical car of the 70's, it fell off  )
Backup lights
License plate lights
Missing body panel lines painted (bumpers)
Home printed (and carefully cut) Firebird wheel centers (plus another one as steering wheel center horn button) 
Wheel/tire locator pins cut out and wheels modified for proper placement
Restored windshield (Deep scratches, a melt spot and fog spots. A lot of time and effort on this) 
BMF (a lot of it)
Black painted paper card inside front and back between chassis and body to prevent light passing thru exposing "emptiness"
Driver's side window partly rolled up. (I did the passenger side as well but it was swallowed and fell in  )
Nose emblem cut from a red sticker
Door locks (dabs of silver paint)
(May have missed some other details)


























Reminder, it is 1/32 scale


What do you think?
Hope you approve. 


Thanks,
Ismael

All the extra details make this car stand out! I like the partially rolled down windows.  ??

Beautiful Trans Am. Really well done. 

[Bainford]

Nice little Pontiac, Ismael. Nice clean work in small scale.

Very cool Ismael.  One interesting detail is the half rolled up side window.  Great job?

[Kenmojr]

Nice build.

[KWT]

Oh that came out great. Very nicely done

Looks great Issy. Definitely not something you see every day. 

BTW, IF you ever decide to add the factory "Trans Am" decals, Ray's kits decals can print you out a set in that scale. 

I know the hood bird was always a cost added option on those cars I've only seen a handfull without it.

A lot of great detail packed into such a small model.

Ismael, 

I don't put this much detail in some of my 1/25 scale builds. ?

Awesome job.

Very impressive for a 1/32. That blue is just asking for RWL tires.

Thank you everybody!  Really appreciate your comments.  I did try more than one technique to get the tire lettering painted but I was not happy with any of those.

Thanks,
Ismael
