Default My car in 1/24 scale!!!

Hey all. Here is an exact replica of my car in 1/24 scale. And yep, it has a WS.7 emblem and hooker exhaust. Notice even my headrests and the tinted hatch glass...the real car is there for comparison.

You can find them on ebay, or search the web. Search 1/24 scale firebird. I see on ebay there is also a vert and non-ramair TAs. Mine came in a pack of 4 diecast ram air trans ams. One in black, bright red, SOM, and blue. I had to paint all of the details myself and modify the exhaust with metal tubing. I recently did a custom one of my friend's red '99 mustang GT and gave it to him as a gift. I even made his licesnce plate with his numbers and printed it out to scale and put it on.

No, I gave it to my little brother. I can't remember if it was NBM. I think it was a little bit lighter.

Toys R Us used to carry these die-casts. I bought the Navy one there a few years ago for five bucks. It's a little bit lighter than NBM, but you could always take it apart and repaint it.

you can make decals on your computer by taking photos of things and shrinking them down. You can then print them out on wet-transfer decal paper.
