Testor Mystic Emerald lacquer is a passable match, though a bit flakier than factory metallic.

Is this particular kit part of your Roy G Biv lineup? Was thinking they only need to mold one (or two?) in indigo and violet and you are all set, with red, orange, yellow, green, and blue already having been covered by Revell. ?

Was there a Revell '69 Camaro molded in green?

Don't think I've seen one. I have them molded in yellow, blue, red, and maybe orange (a glue bomb--don't remember if it's paint or plastic). Was the "Street Burner" issue molded in green? 

I have an AMT '70 Baldwin-Motion molded in green. 

I seem to be working on a Roy G. Biv Nova collection. Have violet and yellow done already, just finished orange, could knock blue out pretty quick, and already have plans to build red and green. And an idea about indigo. (These are all paint, not plastic.)

Looks like all issues of the '69 B-M kit were molded in white, not green, so no green...yet.

The only 1/25 scale orange version I'm aware of is this one:

I was thinking the first issue of the B-M was molded in red, like the box art. If it wasn't, then I don't have red.

The Skip's Fiesta Drive In issue was molded in red.

I couldn't remember a green one. I do have one of the orange Yenkos.

I was thinking one of the early B-Ms was molded in green, before Revell started molded in (mostly) white for everything.

I'm hoping the simulated hood vents are separate pieces in this kit, unlike the MPC '69 SS hood. Should make painting much easier if so.

The only '69 Camaro molded in orange that I know of is the Monogram 1/12 scale kit.... Then in '05 or '06, they came out with the white styrene kits of the same scale....

Is there a Tamiya Colour that is close to this green?

I can probably get Tamiya easier than I can get Testor's anymore.

Rally wheels on the European box art. ??‍♂️

I'm thinking Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green would be very close.

Thanks , Craig!

Looks like it might include two sets of wheels:

I do have a set of Magnum 5-spoke wheels from the Yenko Nova kit.....

I painted this one Tamiya Metallic Green over a silver base and it looks close to me.

I'm looking forward to this one even though I built this one.

Looks good.....

Beyond a clean build, this is sanitary!

I can only aspire to this skill.

Raoul has an awesome Youtube channel called "The Muscle Car Modeler" where he posts and talks about his work. It is one of my favourite channels.

Yes. I have been doing a You Tube Channel. Having fun with that and I can get into more detail in a video.
