Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Excellent customer service from Revell to send you a new set of decals free of charge too!!

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

I was definitely happy that they did!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Burt Reynolds would be proud!!

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

If he were still around I would offer to build him one!

[@VelmaONeill]

This is my second favorite car you've done. My Nova you did for me is of course number one. Really cool they sent you replacement decals. I loved that movie as a kid. Awesome work as always!

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! I liked the movie as well, and always wanted this car in my collection.

[@mikeomally2729]

i've seen many videos of this model kit. but this is by far the best one done. i have this kit and really hope it turns out. its one of my all time favorite cars. thanks for the video.

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the build and the video! I am sure yours will turn out well.

Loved this car as a kid, I've got the kit and plan to have it in a barn find scenario along with General Lee and Christine

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

That would be awesome! Check out my videos on diorama builds. Might be helpful

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I've built the 1/24 plastic and 1/18 metal body 77 Bandit Trans Ams . And it's one of my all time favorite movies too!!

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Ive had a very hard time finding metal body kits. I built several when I was a kid, and now the only ones Ive found were Maisto with pre painted bodies!

[@kregskorner8851]

That turned out awesome! One of my favorite Movies, nice job replacing the decals.. looks good👍

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! I am glad I was able to receive new decals from Revell. I liked the movie as well.

[@jamiedriscoll9781]

My dream car. My brother bought his new in 1977. I have a pic when the car was a week old.

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thats awesome! I have always liked this style myself, but never was able to own one. Models help me obtain all of my dream cars!

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

You did an Excellent job on TA!!!!! Thanks for sharing

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! It went together very well.

[@jayippoliti4422]

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Are you in a hurry?

[@kregskorner8851]

Don't forget the Dr Pepper

[@seeds4hobbies]

that is a sweet looking trans am! nice job.

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video and liked the build!

[@adambishop5739]

Great job man! I once made a Polar Lights Ghostbusters Ecto 1 and I put LED lights in it for a cool effect, but it wasn't to this standard at all. I didn't know about some of the products that exist to help with protecting decals and clear drying glues for the windows etc, so its not as professional as what you've done. But then, my eyesight is significantly worse now than it was then, so I'm sure that it now looks absolutely perfect on close inspection...lol..🤣

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you, Im glad you liked the build and the video!

[@Red-rl1xx]

Super nice! Good job!

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I'd love to see a kit of Buford's Lemans Squad car too!!

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

That would be cool if they offer the kit I would build it! Also the Truck would be a good addition to the collection.

[@2tallsmodelcargarage]

Very cool.

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Thank you! Glad you liked the build. One of my favorite movie cars!

[@Dylan-wd5hj]

Where online did you find the trans am logo decals if you don’t mind me asking? I have the same kit and really want those for it to be complete

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

I actually found those from a seller on Ebay. Just search for MPC Trans Am decals. The seller I bought mine from only had one set.

[@Dylan-wd5hj]

@@dmgscalemodels2825 thank you!

[@tcatman1000]

Can I ask why you didn’t use the after market decals for the Phoenix and pinstriping?

[@ThisTheBreaks]

Question? Why the screws?

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

To attach the body to the chassis. Not many kits do this. Most either press in to place or are glued into place. At 3:41 of the video, it explains why.
