echoxrayniner Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Build this one quickly and a tiny bit shoddily, pretty much out-the-box-stock to finally wrap up(or rather, at least get a start to finish line-up) of every generation Camaro in stark yellow with black stripes(if possible). I gotta admit, AMT really raised the stakes for detail in terms of the chassis and engine bay on a modern car model. Now all that remains is to build the AMT 1983 Camaro I got sitting around and by some way or pray to whatever God I gotta for AMT to churn out another 1974 Camaro so I don't have to camp eBay and pay some guy 200 bucks for a second hand one D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipper Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I agree and support your request for AMT to re-release the 1974 Camaro , it happened to be my 1st real car purchase. Even the Camaro has suffered from what I'll call "blind" engineering styling over the years I have remained a camaro fan. This generation hasn't disappointed , I look forward to building this release I ust purchased at the NNL Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoxrayniner Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Ya' reckon with a '70 Camaro kit from AMT the body would line up enough for it to work? Still would need a tail replacement for the rear lights and such but it's a hell of a strong start if just modifying a '70 body would work, albeit finding one that isn't molded in safety jacket orange. A while back I came across some guy that casted the '74 body from the annual MPC kit but I'mma go ahead and assumed he's been shut down due to legal reasons, wish I bought one back then. Mid-70s Camaro's are such a pain in the rear to come across, though at least front fascia's a plenty!Edit: I have to add, my biggest issue is the fact I don't live in the States and import duties on say a 80 dollar+ resin cast are on the verge of sadistic, that really crippled my search for a proper '73-'77 Camaro kit/parts.

Ron Hamilton Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hah, I just spotted your topic! Great minds think alike? <3Certainly. I have several Camaros to build one of these days. I had several of them for my Company Car, as well as owning a couple of them. I have one of my personal cars built, the '91 RS Convertible, and one under construction, the '78 Sports Coupe with T-Tops. Speaking of the '74, I built one back in the day, and I have an unbuilt MPC to be built as Joe Mannix' last ride on the show. I have to turn the '78 Z28 into a Sport Coupe, by getting a non scooped hood, and filling the fender louvers. Just about everything else is done. I like the yellow theme you are going with. When I did my '70 Baldwin Motion Camaro, I painted it Daytona Yellow, with the Black Stripes. I think I am going to display my Yellow Camaros together, like you are doing, as I like Yellow Camaros too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
