Thanks Steve, Ambitious indeed but I'm going to take my time, and if need be will build things to practice ideas for this car. So it may lead to a few more smaller quicker builds. Rookie Error already, 1 Camaro has ended up at my parents address the other side of the country but still 1 heading to the correct place. When it gets here will start tidying up the body and work out what changes need to be made to match the real car

Tesla is a very visually challenged design. Front nose looks a lot better with that reshape

That's a very complex livery, looking forward to see what it comes out like. Purple looks good

Beautiful looking model, I think I prefer a swb to a gto

I'm about to start a 69 race car build using this kit, yours has come up awesome so far,like the different way of thinking and ideas. Hope mine can look as nearly put together as this one

Dependent on time, I may try pick up a Revell cobra and join the fun, looks like some nice cars coming along so far

This is a really nice build, liking the carbon fibre and attention to detail in building the clips and making them functional but correct to the real car. Radiator and suspension looks ace

Hi all, First post and my first real go at building a model. I have built two models before but both I messed up a lot trying different techniques and ideas to point both are in ver poor state. Neither are models I intend to keep more just to learn and will likely be sacrificed further to help my first proper build. So what is my first build? I'm going to build a 1969 Camaro Z28 from revell, however I won't be building it as a road car. I plan to build the S-Car-Go Camaro that competed in the 1971 Sebring 12 Hours. This isn't a particularly famous, successful or important car,it just looks really cool and has captured my interest. There's a great post with 100s photos of the restored car from an auction on bring a trailer. My model will use that for a main reference but without some of the modern items that may not have been there in 71. I will be using two kits, the z28 kit and the yenko kit from revell to build this car as I think there may be parts from both that can be used. I have also got a photoetch detail set coming for badges and a few extra's. Parts I am collecting for this build. 1x Revell Z28 to provide a body, engine and interior. 1x Revell Yenko Camaro - front trim, Body extras, spare suspension parts, potentially wheels. 1/25 Photo Etch Camaro detail set Trying to get hold of, 69 Corvette brakes as on real car, will they be noticeable different to the Camaro brakes in the kit? Torq Thrust deep dish magnesium wheels - may have a source on ebay, yenko kits wheels are not deep enough and I don't think are an exact match. Additional endurance lights, or are these better/easier to scratch build? Scratch building Roll cage Endurance fuel cell and attachment New exhaust system Flared arches Potentially opening doors and boot. I'm planning to take my time and will b using the two body shells to practice and work out how best to go forward with ideas. I've found a great tutorial on rolling the arches using a little bit of heat and also roll cage fabrication. The opening doors is likely going to be the bit that it all goes wrong. I'm gonna worry about the orange pin striping at a later date for now. Cheers James
