D. Battista Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on this forum, been looking a little. I like what I've seen so far. I built this 5 years ago I think. The inspiration for this build came from a picture of this paint scheme on a 1999 Camaro. It was on the subscription card of a 1/1 car magazine. I thought it would be cool to try it in scale. I drew the design, then transfered it to 2" 3M automotive masking tape. I used Tamiya spray cans for paint. Decanted and shot through an airbrush. I used decals for the seats, dash, and emblems. All other detail is hand painted. Thanks for looking! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) It is very nice work and thanks for sharing. But I am confused. Is it red inside or gray? UPDATE: Nevermind, I just noticed the last pic is in black and white. Edited November 21, 2012 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauricio Meyer Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) It's amazing how it looks the back end of the car in the last picture, like a "predator" camouflage with the floor. Good job with the tape! Edited November 21, 2012 by Mauricio Meyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
