RandyB. Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I find it hard to understand why so many people are so critical of this kit. I personally find the kit is fairly good representation of a 1967 Camaro SS. As far as the grille.....what's the big deal here? Get some Evergreen styrene strips and glue them on like I did. Takes a few seconds and they really make the grille look like it should. I think we all need to consider that this is not a 1:1 car and that it is a model. I think out of all of my 100 or so model cars maybe a few might come in as being quite accurate in terms of a 1:1 car. I'm just glad Revell is coming out with such a variety of classics to build! Lets chill out a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 That interior looks fantastic! Personally I don't have the patience to do foil on interiors, but I admire those who do. Don't forget that Camaros with white interiors actually had black headliners. But you prolly already know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't have the patience to do foil on interiors, but I admire those who do. Don't forget that Camaros with white interiors actually had black headliners. But you prolly already know that. Thanks Dan, Guido and Snake. Only the door panels were foiled. The dash trim and console trim were painted silver. Snake, thanks for that info. I wasn't sure if they were white or black since I couldn't find a decent reference pic to show what they were. Edited September 28, 2014 by RandyB.

RandyB. Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I did a mock up with the grille attached to the body to show how the styrene strips look with the foil applied. Makes a big difference from the way the grille looks right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelhaus repops it. It's also more accurately shaped on the ends than the Revell kit grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you would need the solid red tail light as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are relatively simple problems to solve, in a number of ways. Not big deals at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyB. Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys for all of the great comments. Well I had a chance to get back to the bench today and get the foil on. Body has been polished out with Nu Finish Scratch Doctor. I placed the grille on temporary just for the photos. Check her out when you get a chance. Edited October 2, 2014 by RandyB.
