    Wow man sorry to hear about the paint coming off. That sucks and is so annoying. I'm sure the comeback tho will look even better

    I've only purchased one of the 1970 1/2 camaro and it was molded in orange at least the newer version I bought it last year. There may be some in white to for that kit

    Headers were installed as well as connected to the exhaust. The grill and back bumper is finished. The turn signals are brighter then they appear in the picture Although the right one (your left) the silver enamel backing got screwed from the glue. So I may lightly apply some over the top. Also there is no black paint on the edges of the bumper it's just a reflection. Just waiting to put the decals on them. Re polished the body with novus 2 after the body had more than 4 days to cure. Then I waxed it with The Treatment Final Detail wax. BMF has also been started in the front as you can see and I tried to show the reflection in the photo booth with my finger that is no shaddow. All I use is just standard alluminum tape for like heating ducts.

    That's awesome. Have to ask is the road with the guard rail a diorama? If so I'd love to see a pic or have some info on it.

    I personally don't like the Orange Amt 1970 1/2 This kit was molded in orange and the plastic feels very weak IMO I hate kits that have all the parts molded in one color unless it's a Tamiya kit

    Thanks Maxicoop. I almost had the chance to own this car, but it was sold before I made the offer. Thanks DynoMight

    Thank you much. Yea I'm gonna polish and wax the body wants more since the paint is hardened. Then apply everything to the body. And finish up the engine and interior. This kit was going to be my first with ignition wires but it didn't work out to well, due to not having a pin vise. Luckily the engine still looks good tho. Cheers,

    Here's the chassis I missed a part painting the front right wheel well. I'll have to touch it up. Here's a mock up and chassis with it's permanent completely wheels all finished. Tamiya semi gloss black was used for wheels and wheel wells. There's also two pics to show you guys the back wheels, they tuck in nicely but slightly touch the wheel well at least one of them does. But for all honestly they seem to fit better after all mounted I don't really care about the issue anymore
  24. Byron5150
    Here's my kit never finished it. I'd say there's not many parts for this one at least. I have to agree there was a lot of flash on these.

    Looking good mate. Nice interior work.
