I do like the 77-80 model Trans Am's. I guess it was all Smokey and the Bandit that started it all for me with these cars. Got some good progress going there GPB!!

all these big scale kits I never even knew existed. of course, I would normally walk right past them to get to the 1/25's... I do have one, very old larger scale busted up kit....
gonna be a real nice one GPB... |
