RDean58 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Another Camaro project started. This time it's the convertible by Revell. Painted Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red. Here it is before the paint, mocked up with a set of AMT Firestone tires and Revell 69 Nova SS wheels. I finally figured out what is wrong with the Revell SS wheels, they are molded without the trim rings installed. A set of these from the AMT 69/70 Chevelle kit looks much better. They are the ones I'm using on the Revell 69 Chevelle. Thanks, all comments welcomed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I agree with everyone else on the paint color and finish. Looks great and very fitting for a Camaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones in the Chevelles are deep and easily represent the 15x7.5 inch rims used on these muscle cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDean58 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 You all know how it is, you shoot a model. Think it's great, share pics. Then you look a bit more closely and discover that paint job was not that good. Yeah. I needed to wet sand the Camaro convertible and put some more coats on it. Here is the finished product.
