Great looking CJ7, nicely done

Thanks

Thank you ☺️

Thanks for the kind words. It’s funny cuz the bottom of the tub is stamped 57 cameo, but sold as 55. My research found 55 was only offered in ivory white and red/gypsy red. Scale finishes only had the gypsy, so thought that would be the authentic color for red in 1955. The subsequent years 56-58 offered other body trim colors. Maybe this kit will float to the surface of the purple pond and be revived.

Thanks

Jim,thanks. Yes I had some small gaps in the corners of windshield, top & bottom. They were not huge, but spaces none the less. The glass is kind of flexible, I masked and painted the trim, then applied with decent pressure and it made it better. I painted the sun visor when I did the trim, but was undecided about attaching or not. I added the visor, cuz I thought it was kind of blingy for a 55 to have that color (sporty) visor. But mostly, it hid the spaces in the top of the windshield. The back glass fit like a glove, snapped into place snug and tight. Thanks again, have a good one

Thanks

Thanks, was a little scary using the dremel, but went slow and results show. Looks much more realistic. My 84 yr old father saw a picture today and asked where was it located for sale, lol. Told him my display cabinet, lol

Thanks a lot. Not bad for my 6th auto model ever, happy with my progress

Thanks

Appreciate the kind words. Fun to build

Thanks ✌️

Thanks, appreciate it

Thank you. Was going for this but as I said, newbie didn’t realize it was more orange. All good in the end.

Thanks appreciate it. I want to do a f100 to see the comparison. The cameo grew on me looking at it for a few weeks and love the classic lines.

Cool Bus! Great detail

Sweet build. Love that paint color.

My kids gave this to me for Father’s Day last year. Here is my take on a 55 Chevy Cameo p/u. Fun kit to build. I used Scale Finishes gloss enamel India Ivory with Gypsy Red ( aka. Chevy Engine red or Gypsy Orange). I was shooting for more red, but trying to use a GM color, this what was offered, so I ran with it. Came out well and nice contrast with the India ivory. Really like the scale finishes paint, the gloss enamel eliminates the need to clear coat and easy to work with for a newbie like me(#11 for 2021). I wasn’t going for super shiny wet look, just a good shine after waxing. Used a photo etch detail kit for interior, bed trim and exterior trim from model garage, wired dist and engine detail from Morgan auto detail. Cut out the grill with dremel, as original was cheesy looking. The interior is very basic, but came out really well splitting the white/orange. Pics don’t do justice unfortunately. Got a decal for speedo and radio from best model parts on eBay. Built out of box besides. Really came to appreciate the beauty in simple lines and some chrome. Looking forward to doing a few more 50’s cars and trucks. Anyway, hope you enjoy and hope I post this correctly. Happy modeling all, I’m going back to the bench to START a 72 GTO.

Nicely done. Got one in my stash that is patiently waiting for me to get to

Super clean build. Love the color.

Absolutely beautiful!! So clean

Looks great, paint and trim is well done.

Great color and very clean build. Nice job. Have the same kit in the que, gonna try Alclad chrome finish, overlayed with transparent purple. Hoping the outcome will match the idea in my head. Haha

Yeah, just down the road

Thank you, appreciate the feedback
