It's not a test shot, the first issues of the Z/28 were blue plastic.

Sweet build. Excellent call on the white roof and R/T stripe, especially against the purple. Clean interior, too. I dig it!

If you're talking about the actual movie car, it is probably LeMans blue. There is a possibility it is Dusk Blue, as that was also an available COPO color, but that is a darker shade than the movie car IMHO. The movie car was a replica and not a real Yenko, so I don't know how particular you want to get. Are you trying to build a Yenko or the car from 2F2F?

According to the box art, it's a 534 Super Duty V8.

I'm digging the blue/blue color combo. Is all the interior chrome BMF or Molotow (or other chrome paint)? Do the tires have pad printed whitewalls, or are they the type with the white plastic inserts? It's been decades since I've built one of these, so I don't remember what the kit came with originally. I've personally had white plastic whitewalls act like this, and my guess was that it was some reaction between the tire compound and the insert. I couldn't find a solution short of new tires, though. If they are pad printed, I guess you have the option of trying to remove the sticky mess with some sort of solvent, although I would be concerned about marring the surface of the tire and making it worse.

To my eyes, that looks much better than the current Revell K5. Nice bit of work!

IIRC, the 1:25 Revellogram Camaro was based on their 1:12 kit. The bigger kit has a separate transmission crossmember, which makes installing the engine with the headers in place much easier. The 1:25 model has that crossmember molded in, making fitting the engine with the headers in place somewhat of a pain. It's per the instructions, though, and has been a bugaboo of this kit - small block or big block versions - since it was released in 1990.

It made me think of the aluminum covers from the late '70s - early '80s made to fit the 9" and look like a quick change rear!

That's a super neat & clean build. The interior is sharp! I'm digging the "not Plum Crazy" purple,too.

Duplicolor had a paint called Nite Lites which was reflective particles in a clear carrier. It worked somewhat well, but I believe they discontinued it. You might be able to get a similar effect with a clear pearl coat. But that depends on the look you're hoping to achieve. Reflective vinyl is an option, if you find a product that isn't too thick.

I certainly wasn't calling anyone out. I had just not seen those kits in anything but black plastic. I've built a lot of them. I have 3 or 4 of them in the stash, bought at various times over the last 25+ years, and all of them are molded in black. Well, except for the one that's still sealed. For all I know, that one could be molded in gray. Thanks for posting the pic.

Man oh man, that screams late '60s goodness! The green & black are classic, and those wires just complete the look. I can smell the enamel in the air!

Sweet Mopar! I'm digging the color...and those boxes in the trunk. Such a clean build. Very nicely done.
