Unboxing of the Revell 68 Pontiac Firebird 400
This is a 2 N 1 kit in 1/24th scale. It’s a Skill Level 4 and it has a whopping 122 pieces. It’s molded in white, chrome, and clear. All the parts look good, and as usual they are molded very well.
My plans are to do a Rockford Files prequel car. Gold on gold with whitewalls. I’ve always had a big old soft spot for the early Firebirds, had a 74 when I was in the Navy. I plan on doing as much detail as I can in the engine bay, but I don’t plan on lighting it as of yet.
