This is the revell 79 Pontiac. This is a lemon of a kit. The wheels are its biggest flaw, I added wheels from the 69 corvette. Bonnet is too short. Tail lights are molded in body colour. I expected better. I tried to make it look good, I guess it turned out ok.

This looks to me like a case of over-styling with a body kit, but you've done a good job on it anyway. Kermit might like it, but I prefer the original car untouched.

Nice colour.
It might be a POS but it looks like you've done a good job.

I agree the body kit does not enhance the look of the car. It was originally called "formula firebird" by monogram. It was boxed as a white car, it can be seen sometimes on ebay. It would have more tolerable if the had added decent wheels and tyres. Thanks to those who have posted comments you feedback is much appreciated.

Have this kit and while the body flares in the kit are tacky I still have intended to build it. I just needed the right inspiration and you just provided me with it BigDaddy!-Mark

You've a done a good job on the build but I think it is one ugly car.
