Hmann68 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi all, been a while since I finished something but here it is , the MPC 86 El Camino. Box stock with Testors lacquer. Duplicolor engine blue for the interior and tonneau cover. It was fun because it's different than the usual stuff I build! Some finicky areas to deal with but for the most part it went to the other wel finicky areas to deal with but for the most part it went together well. Not the best job I've ever done but it looks cool on the shelf . Thank you for looking and I'll say it anyway , Mopar to ya lol. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm not a Chevy guy, by any stretch, but I would own an ElCamino! Any year would do! This one in the SS trim has a unique look that really stands out. Well done on this example!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Came out well. Deserves the '!' Looks great. Front end looks aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Nice clean looking build. I like the SS style interior and exterior. Ask anyone else who has owned a Monte Carlo SS, Chevrolet didn't do any better with the fit and finish on the rubber noses on these cars.
