Looks really good! As I see, the rear windshield doesn't fit perfectly...

Christian W
Indeed. It is a fitting problem on every issue of the 3rd gen FIrebird by MPC/AMT/ERTL. Every time when I built one, it was challenging to fit it well enough.

Very nice collection you got there Christian

Christian W
Thank you very much 🙂 I want to point out, that I collect Firbird since I learned to walk in modelling. One of my very first kits was this beautyful 1982 Firebird by Revell (albums for the Revell Firebirds are in progress)
So on this kits I can see my progress on modelling. That is one cool thing. And: I still have 90% of my very first 20 built kits 😉

Jv
Yes you are sure a rare man Christian not many have kits thay built when thay were kids
Fantastic to see
You sure pait Fantastic now

Christian W
I think, I have to update my Album "The "Blast of the Past" christian-w

Jv
Yes I think that would be more appropriate we all expect your builds to be better now
I have seen you do some fantastic builds
Whed out letting us know
This is what you did as a kid
I was wondering what you are doing mate
Now it all makes sense
And sure fantastic to see thanks for sharing it

Christian W
You're welcome. While I was preparing and writing down my KITT-Kit-Archeology, I forced myself to take pictures at least of all the 1982-1992 kits by MPC, Airfix and AMT/ERTL to be able to show the differneces. So I decided, to photograph all my Pontiac F-Body for a collection.
As today I have 288 built kits in my cellar. So there is a lot of work to do if I want to picture them on scalemates.

Jv
I sure appreciate the work you do
and share whed us all
Your knowledge on kits is amazing
Yes Christian I surly am a beginner
I have about 410 kits now
I started about 6-7 but haven't finished any yet
Many are push push about I should build things
In the beginning I did and made some bad mistakes
Dident have tools to build anything
My selection of paints was bad paints from the hardware
after making a mess out of a few kits I decided
To get what I need to do it right first
Getting there now 😆
