Yes that was sure a time of sad design
I have see this kit for sale
And also a camaro from the same period
Just can't buy them because thay are so offensive to look at
But great work

I disagree on that! This design of the last Trans Am is outstanding on my point of view. The design from 1993 to 1998 (for me!) is a little boring. It is not that bad but I'm missing some highlights / finesse.
The last Trans Am had this aggressive look, what I connect to the spirit of it. It screams "get out of my way or I'll suck you in". And yu have to know: the 1998 Trans Am was one of the best "modern" muscle car and makes it's way to a collectors car. If I want to buy a 4th generation Firebird, I'll grab a 1998 Trans Am of Formula.

...and if you have the cance to get this kit (or the Camaro) cheap, give it a try. I'd be happy to have a couple more in my shelf.

btw: look, how cool the Camaro could be 2002 Camaro SS | Project by christian-w (1:25)

In general I think it was a sad time for most car manufacturers
In regards of design
Not my cup of tea
There is a firebird kit and also a camaro for sale at the moment here
But sorry I don't want them in my collection
Many other kits I would rather spend my money on
We can't all have the same taste and that's ok
Last week I got 8 kits of fords from 1930-1960
That was when cars were art

Maybe we can fugure something out. Next March I'll stop for 5 days in Australia....

Jv
We're are you going Australia is not a small place
But if you do land here in perth I would sure love you to meet some
Of my modelling friends here
Fantastic modellers sad to say thay are not on scalemates
But I am sure you would love to see what thay do
Darryl's main interest is jdm he also has a few 1/1 cars
90 % of his builds are skylines 😆
His stach makes mine look like nothing
I do prefer to buy larger lots on the second hand market
That way I get them at a good price
I sale what I don't think is interesting and keep what I like
and Bill like to build rusty builds
I have made an album of some of his work
And I will sure give you a mustang revell kit
Made in Germany that i got cheap
you can use
The engine of to build one of your curbside gm models on 😆 🤣

Lol, JV!
It's definitely true that OZ isn't a small place. I remember flying over the ocean, for hours, and when I finally saw land, I figured it wouldn't be long before we'd descend? I actually believe that was Perth, or close by? 5hrs later, we touched down at Melbourne! I gotta say though, the redness of the soil, as we flew over the outback, was unbelievable! I ended up in Queensland, and it's a pretty part of the world, however the 32hr trip back to the UK, was enough for me, to never have the need to return. The Steve Irwin Zoo though, is definitely worth a visit, by anybody.

Jv
Lol yes Bozzer a long trip
Not a weekend trip
and yes Queensland has some very butiful places
But to humid for me

Bozzer
JV, come to England.
You'll soon be glad of that humidity 😉

Jv
I have been to England long time ago Bozzer

Bozzer
Well if you ever get back over mate, give me a shout? I'll try to catch up with you and have a few cold ones 🙂

Jv
