MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Is it possible? The risks are obvious, but I am trying to avoid stripping the paint if possible. One of the panel lines is just a little too shallow, and I have a few more coats of paint to apply. The line is there, I just want it to be a little deeper. If anyone has a trick to accomplish this safely, it is much appreciated. Thanks!
  2. Thanks Zoom. I noticed your trim ring looks slightly different compared to Perspective Custom’s above. Are yours 14” or 15”?
  3. Thanks for the advice everyone. Does anyone happen to have pictures of Chiefs or Scale Equipments wheels on their models? I just want to get an idea of the size and offset.
  4. Thanks guys! Very cool the Fireball has them, as he has been great to deal with with other items. Does his trim rings come chromed already?
  5. I am searching for wheels like the below. I have been searching high and low, but have not been able to found them on any of my kits or any of the kits from that era. Surely some kit has these?
  6. I noticed: * 1/24 scale on what appears to be the actual box art. I would trust that before the description on their webpage. * 100+ parts, including new parts!! * Skill level 4 * “1979” and not 1980 or 1981. I would say all indicators point to the “79 kit and not the snapper, which is great IMO. I’m excited about this one. With what’s available in the aftermarket now, you can build it in almost any color combination and with any wheel option.
  7. Also looking for evidence that it is the 1/12 kit. Although, I don’t think we saw the 1/25 kit in z/28 trim that was also a 3 in 1 kit, unless I am forgetting a release. Great if it’s the big kit, but I am just wondering when we will see the big Corvette kit again. We’ve seen several iterations of the big Camaro since the last rerelease of the big Corvette. Also interested in what decal options we are going to get in the 79 Camaro kit. Hopefully they do what they did with the 85 Camaro kit, and put in nearly every decal color option.
  8. Thanks!! IIRC, it was just flat paint topped with Fun Flock off of EBay,
  9. Thanks everyone! Thanks! That was a super rare color option, the blue with the gold. I think I only ever saw one like that up until I was researching colors for the build.
  10. Three of them complete this year, which means I was building at blazing lightning fast mach 10 speed for me. 1/12 COPO Camaro 1989 Turbo Trans Am Pace Car 85 Camaro Z28
  11. Someone named Thomas Cadrette supplied the wheels. I am not sure if he is making them anymore. The customer got them from Tom and forwarded them to me, so I don`t know much about him.
  12. Thanks for the kind words everyone!
  13. I built this using both the 1/12 69 Camaro and the 1/12 `67 Corvette kits, along with some resin parts from Tom Cadrette. The wheels pop off so you can display it with either the rallye wheels or the dog dish caps. The dash was modified to be a radio delete optioned car.
  14. Given that, I hope we get some nice z28 decal options this time around. Would be nice to see a light green set, and maybe have the orange and red set from years ago.
