This kit goes together amazing! I had issues with the decals, the setting solution caused them to disappear after I put them on! Revell sent me a new set as replacements!
DMG,That's a bummer about the decals but glad Revell stepped up and please subscribe if you haven't already, to help us continue our mission to help more modelers! -Doug
I just had to scrap this kit because the body was warped. It's a lovely kit, but the stripe decals were very tricky and I left off many of them. But it was a model I had wanted in my collection since childhood, and I'd gladly build it again.
David, Warped bodies can be fixed with the hot/cold water reshaping method and the decals in the latest released version of this kit are much better. Grab a new one and try again! Thanks for watching! -Doug

Revell U.S.A and MPC (Round2Models) had reissued the big 1/16 scale version of this kit about a year to two years ago;the kit is still available but it is not cheap,retailing for close to $50 depending on where the kit was bought from and if the kit is still in stock.The kit was only a limited production run;and has by now been discontinued but can still be found in most retail hobby shops & on most E-commerce websites,like Amazon and Model Roundup.The 1/16 scale Revell USA version is the 1987 Pontiac Firebird GTA;while the 1/16 scale MPC (Round2Models) version,is the 1979 Pontiac Firebird.
Devin, You're right, the 1:16 scale kits are getting hard to find but if you find the MPC kit we have a tutorial here... ua-cam.com/video/Vu0BslGyz9Q/v-deo.html for you to use as a guide! Thanks for sharing! -Doug

I guess Revell didn't want to pay for the use of the Trans Am name
