Congrats Hawk!!!
I've still got my 82 Trans Am, probably one of the better ones they did.
The Lindberg Hawk I had and sold. Now I wish I wouldn't have, I wanted to do a Hurst Edition.
Be prepared to do some work on that 79 kit (yeah, I've had that one too). The nose piece doesn't fit right by just attaching it. You'll almost need to find a way to pin it with either toothpics that have been cut up or drilling and using plastic or metal rod.
Something about the front end not coming out of the mold right.
At any rate, when that 79 is built, it is awesome and very realistic looking.
Good Luck!!
Chris
