Another photoset that was in the rejected folder. I recently finished them up anyway, although I am not thrilled with the overall look of the setup or the photos.
1969 Pontiac Firebird 400 - Danbury Mint

John, your pics look just fine to me. Thanks for posting them! Might you have pics of the red '69 Firebird as well? I gave up on getting one of those. Hard to find one that's not crumbling apart.

Have it, love it. It's a hard model to photograph John. Your shots look great. I had to use a background color to get mine to show properly but I wasn't happy with mine either.

I don’t have the red one. I got three of them back in the day. They were all awful and I sent them all back. Probably should have kept one, but couldn’t accept the paint then.

John, I think your photos turned out quite well. I missed this one, I also wanted the Carousel Red version, but finding one without issues is near impossible. And if you do find one, when will it start going south?

I have this one as well and I actually like the Pontiac over the Camaro.

One I am happy to own. Your pictures are excellent, John.

Both you guy's pics came out pretty nice. I don't have this in 1/24. I did buy the club car in 1/18 from Lane. I never liked the looks of this Firebird back in the day. It just looked like an over-ornamented Camaro which had a much cleaner design.

I don't see any issues with the pics.

I have the 69 Trans Am and am looking for a 69 Firebird. Wanted the red one but am rethinking with the talk of problems.
