Hi everybody!
Finished '87 T/A GTA(1/25 Monogram).
I built this model about 10 years ago, applied metallic light blue that time.
stripped old paint by brake fluid then painted Finisher's Pure Red and 5 coats of clear.
this kit's original windshield is smoked so I made it from 0.5mm clear plastic sheet.
front/rear sidemarkers were painted clear amber/red upon metal foil.
added some wires and pipes on engine.

Nice TA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah that engine bay detailing is spectacular. I like the body color intake plenum too.
Good job on that rear taillight section.
How did you detail the GTA/Bird badges? Awesome.
Kunta thanks for showing this one, it brings back memories of my Dad's old '85 TA.

The master strikes again! You have the best paint finishes around, not to mention one of the best looking engine bays on this forum.

That’s a beautiful restoration Osamo. :)
Again your paint finish is simply irreprehensible and the engine detail is super. Excellent work.

Kunta, that is simply amazing. In fact so much so I think I will just throw my kit away! LOL, J/k.
I hope you don't mind but I save the pictures for myself.
Excellent job!

This is truly amazing, Kunta. You can consistantly take basic models and make them look REAL. Seriously, a guy could walk up to this Firebird and just drive it away.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
