Love the two-tone interior. Will be very interesting to see this one done in black.

Very nice! Looks great in that color.

Looks good! That color combo works well with the El Camino.

Made a little more progress this weekend. Got it cleared with pledge/future, foiled it and painted the side marker lights. I just need to paint the cowl area, fender wells, headliner, and tail light panel black and it'll be ready for final assembly. I also need to find some Cibie decals for the driving lights, and make my license plate.

That would have made me cry if you'd have lost that paint job, lol. Sorry about the two-tone one though, it sucks losing any paint job, especially after you go through all of those steps. I've been interested in the Createx line as I'm getting more and more used to my airbrush, as opposed to using the Tamiya and Testors spray cans in the shed during the summer. I've seen and heard that they were a little tricky to deal with at first until you get more used to them.

That looks fantastic! I sure hope this isn't the paint job you said you screwed up.

Looks fantastic!

Outstanding! Great color choice/combo and paint job. That engine and turbo setup...WOW!

That's a beauty! Great color and paint job.

Definitely mean and nasty. Great color too. I remember the Nash that's pictured on that box, one of the crazier Pro-Streeters of the time.

Looks good! Sometimes the simple rattle can paints are the best answer, it certainly was in this case.

Great shot! Thank you! Looks like PCS 362 or maybe PCS 382. I think you nailed it though, PCS 362 it will be until further evidence is presented. Thank you again for your time and effort!

Personally, my taste is gravitating toward these two selections, depending on the route you're going with the build. The black and red rims obviously being painted different colors, the outside being brushed aluminum, to compliment the body color.

Thanks Francis! The Pledge/Future is an acrylic that is used mainly over other acrylic/water based paints and does go on glossy. Most of it's use is as a clear coat, but is also used to coat kit glass for a more realistic look and to help eliminate fogging when using harsher glues for installation. There are numerous tutorials, including one in these forums, on it's uses and how to apply it. I try not to overuse it, but in this case having painted the car with Vallejo Model Color, which is an acrylic, I decided to use the pledge/future instead of my Model Master spray can clear just to be safe.

Well, it's a yellow Camaro now, lol. Got the color coats on and the first coat of pledge clear. Not quite as pale as I was hoping for, it looked fairly pale in it's bottle, but it'll do. Going to wait a few days before I foil it and add the Z28 decals to the front fenders. Also got the motor installed into the chassis.

?? Looks like I'll probably have to. I think I can get fairly close.

I've seen a ton of them both in this forum and on the Facebook groups that I'm in and I don't think I've seen a bad one done yet. Never get tired of seeing them either, just a great looking kit!

Nicely done, I love the color!

I like that color!

Nice colors and paint job! Great choice for wheels too! Looks sharp!

Looking like a nice, clean build so far. I definitely need to pick one of these kits up.

More progress on the Camaro from the last couple of days. Finished the interior, wired the engine and detailed the wheels. While I'm working on the suspension/ride height, I'll show my second attempt at weathering an undercarriage. I think I'm liking it! I hope to get the color coats laid down on Monday or Tuesday.

That turned out beautiful!!??

Very well done!

Thanks! You know, I'm kind of torn. I want to do the car as close to what it looked like in the movie as possible, and have spent hours looking at videos and photos to get the last details right, but you are right, those driving lights are just plain ugly...on all of the cars in the movie. I get the use and function, but ??.
