This could be the worst kit i have ever made...The only reason i could finished this kit; is my respect to the actual car...

My inspiration was, the popular 57 chevy...

I will probably paint the windshields white, and put a license plate to the back..

 

Here is the box...

 

and the reference 57....

 

and finished model...

Cool! Nice stance. But, your driver lost the fuelcap!

[Chris White]

if that was your worst kit, can't wait to see your best. I think it looks great. I would be happy to argue with you !!

[slammedi'am]

Very nice!

Kekefe - Super nice truck ! Very clean !

The lack of  Cameo trim reminds me of the Cameo's lesser-known cousin :the GMC Carryall (no trim on the bed ; typical GMC "Bull Nose" fascia ; and Pontiac engines ).

I think it looks great, why don't you like it?  I like the satin red finish with the white and the lowered stance.   When you say you are going to paint the windshields white, I think you mean what we call headlights in the USA.  Be proud of this model it looks great and I would leave the windshields like they are. Nice job!

Very nice work. A great replica of your reference truck. Well done.

The kit has several problems, i did not like the AMT kit..But once it is finished, it looks cool..I will consider what you said about windshields..Thanks

I beleive you actually mean the Town and Country Runabout (early) or Suburban (late). It was never called a Carryall. Only the trucks with the V8 option had Pontiac engines, the 6 cylinder trucks used GMCs own inline 6. No kit is available, but Shawn Carpenter has a resin conversion for '55 and '57.

Thanks for the clarification , Bill !

I just recently discovered the GMC version of the Cameo ! In all my 43 years , I'd never heard of them , let alone see one .

[Longbox55]

The GMC version is very rare, only about 1000 or so were built over the 5 year run, compared to over 5000 Cameos that were built just in '55, which was a short production year. Unlike Chevrolet, though, GMC continued to offer the Suburban/Town and Country after the Wideside (Fleetside) bed was introduced in mid '58.

[Longbox55]

Re reading some of the earlier posts, the '55 and '56 Cameo didn't have any bed trim, the bed trim was '57/'58 only.
