YBlock292 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I started to build a 1967 Camaro SS - a new kit released by Revell in 2014. Here are some photos showing the body after the paint job. I used Tamiya light blue metallic which comes close to the original "Marina blue metallic". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Clutch Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Very very nice color. It has just enough pop to it. Rock solid muscle car color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Look'n good. What style are you going to build? Have you decided on interior color or wheels ? Great color choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBlock292 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thank You guys! I want to do the interior black (dashboard, pack tray, floor) and the seats white, which was available back in the day. As for wheels I have chosen Chevy's "Rally Wheels". The look great on the late 1960s models. Meanwhile I have done the BMF-work on the body which is not that much with this Camaro and I have put on the white nose decal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Looks sharp. Good interior color with the SS stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Haigwood Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Great color choice. Same as the 1:1 I had back in the day. Is going to be a SS or a SS/RS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhedjon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Your paint is fantastic as well as the bare metal foil trim. Not to be rude, but with your black and white interior, the vented kick panels should be black with the grill in gloss black. The window knobs should be a clear color, they turned yellow after time. The bottom of the arm rest is chrome too. 25 years restoring chevy's gave me this info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I really like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBlock292 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thank You!@Jon: I want to build it the super sport Version.@John: I appreciate Your Information very much. Since I am not done with the interior yet, I plan to take away again most of the black washing on the window cranks and the door handles. So I still can give them the correct colors as well as the kick panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YBlock292 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I did not wet sand the body. It is simply Tamiya primer with three layers of Tamiya "Light blue metallic" and several rounds of "MEguiars" Car wax. I worked on the door panels to achieve a more realistic look ( I'm not finished yet!): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybill1960 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) That Meguiars is the Best! Beautiful looking Camaro Thank You for sharing Later Russ Edited July 25, 2015 by rustybill1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBlock292 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not much progress during the last weeks, but I finished the interior (I took these photos prior to glueing the right seat to the floor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
