By the time 1991 came around the current generation Firebird body style was almost ten years old and needed to be changed or at least updated. So to get the most speed out of every drop of gasoline, the engineers at GM designed a car with their most aerodynamic shape ever inspired by the Banshee show car. The 225 horsepower engine powering this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Formula\u00e2\u20ac\u009d One racer allowed it to burn through a quarter mile (0.4 km) in less than 15 seconds. It didn&#8217;t take long for the beautiful &#8217;92 Firebird to become a true dream ride.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is a skill level 2, 1:24 scale, Monogram Dream Rides series kit molded in white, clear and chrome plated pieces with soft vinyl tires. The kit features a detailed engine with Tuned-Port injection system, full interior detail, separate rear spoiler, with chrome plated details and decals with factory stock and custom graphics. Upon opening the kit, you immediately realize a few things; 1) this kit builds only as the Firebird Formula; 2) for \u00c2\u00a0only 78 pieces this kit is fairly detailed. Lastly great news for all of us there is no flash to be found on this kit. The chrome and decals are well done also. This kit seems to be a reissue of kit #85-2952.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Covered in this Review:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> If you want to perfect your build; basic construction; preparing parts for better finishing; adhesive selections and applications; customizing the engine with alternate paint selections; altered assembly sequence suggestions; seam identification and repairs; adding realism to the mono-color interior with gloss, satin and flat paints; adding \u00e2\u20ac\u0153chrome\u00e2\u20ac\u009d appointments to the interior; detailing the undercarriage; tire tread direction; realistic taillight and emblem detailing with foil; easy window edging; driving light detailing; are all fully examined in this <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>8 page, full-color<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Step-by-Step review. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00c2\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important!<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/span><\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"3WP7P55VH8DQQ\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <input type=\"image\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p align=\"center\">To get your copy of the full review &#8211; just select one of the payment methods above for <b>$2.99 USD<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nRight On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92013 All rights reserved.<br \/>\n*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-7543364-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
