Well, not so much the movie as the gleaming black Pontiac that was the star (in my opinion). From the moment Burt Reynolds drove black beauty out of the back of that semi, I was hooked.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is a Revell 1977 Pontiac Firebird Smokey and the Bandit 1:25 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4027 Review. This skill level 2 kit includes 89 parts, molded in white plastic, with black vinyl tires, clear plastic windows and light covers. For years if you wanted to do a model replica of the &#8220;Bandit T\/A&#8221; you were limited by lack of correct decals and a kit without the right parts. While both Monogram and MPC provided kits, neither had the right &#8220;Blackbird&#8221; decals and both lacked detail. Then a couple of years ago Revell came out with a pre-painted kit, which was nice, but where is the fun in a pre-painted kit? Finally, they released that kit in real model form&#8230;.That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right, this kit is NOT the old Monogram kit&#8230;it is the new, very detailed, extremely well engineered, correctly decaled, Bandit T\/A. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Covered in this Review:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00c2\u00a0 If you want to perfect your build; basic construction; preparing parts for better finishing; alternate assembly sequence suggestions for fit and ease of finishing; complete paint and adhesive selections and applications; engine detailing; test fitting; suspension construction and detailing; detailing the instrument cluster\/console; identifying and repairing seams; handling small parts for trouble free finishing; removing unwanted chrome; engine assembly and finishing; detailing the interior; removing the molded trademark scripts; gold detailing; headliner finishing; detailing the grill and taillight bezel for realism, are all fully examined in this pictorial <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>14 page, full-color<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Step-by-Step review in PDF format.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/?page_id=2932\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">100% money back guarantee!<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Click the <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Buy Now<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> link below to purchase the full Step-by-Step review for<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <b>$2.95 USD<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/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=\"6THVY7JWLGA5N\" \/>\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 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><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 in PDF format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92013 All rights reserved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p>  var _gaq = _gaq || [];\n  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-7543364-1']);\n  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'rightonreplicas.com']);\n  _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);\n  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);<\/p>\n<p>  (function() {\n    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;\n    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
