Here's an Indy I did a while back, I'm re-doing it now with correct details, better decals, and a MUCH better paint job:

and this is the 84 I'm also repainting and turning into my car, along with my award-winning DeLoreans

I'm just getting into plastic models. Ironic that as I get into, they seem to die out.

But yeah, I'm still working on my first, a '70 Dastun 240Z. I've got a few on the shelf in boxes that are in-line for doing after finish this one. I'm going to do my favorite, the '85 Fiero GT, last so I have some experience under the belt. I've also got a '79 Revell/Monogram Camaro and a '69 AMT Mustang Mach I

Is there any chance that you might reproduce the decals you made to be sold? If you would, I would be interested in a set, and I'm sure others would be too.

I haven't had a chance to do my Fiero model yet. I am working on some ships and airplanes right now.
Here are some threads to check out the detailing that can be done:

The ones I made (on the car in that pic) weren't very good upclose. I got three new sets from Fred Cady design, they're $5 a set, and well worth it!

http://www.fredcadydecals.com/

You have to order them by mail, and they aren't listed in the catalog. I'll look through my documentation and figure out what set # they were.

EDIT: Found them already
Set # 230
1984 Pontiac Fiero Pace Car
$5.00

The set is as complete as you can get, and accurate (of course you can't recreate the dot matrix pattern on the red striping in this scale). It also comes with silver decals for the lower ground effects, but you'd be better off just painting them on.

Here's the set I originally printed for myself for the above car:

This is the third model that I built (all GT's).
This one has the side scoops, big brakes, Vette tail lights, and a LT1 eng just like my real one.

Gotta get one of those fastback GT kits...

Here's what the Fred Cady sheet looks like. You can't see the white decals in the pics, but it has the windshield banner and everything.

The 85 GT kits were re-released by Revell in the summer as part of their Selected Subjects program (a very limited number of kits released). You can still find them at any good hobby shop for $15ish, or at the Fierostore.com website. The others are a LOT harder to find...

Here's the latest model I started work on https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/047744.html it's 1/43 scale. I haven't had a chance to finish it yet, too many irons in the fire, maybe one of these weekends.

i just bought one off ebay this week. it went up to $32.02 when i won it finally. it's a 87 GT still in factory wrapping. there are some 85 GT's there too for $15.00 + shipping. were there ever any 88's? i'd love to find a formula one.

The only 88's were GT's, which were IDENTICAL in every way to the 87 GT kit, except they had a ribbon tape around the box with '1988' on it.
