Does anyone here know the measurements of a 1968 Camaro's side marker lights and RS front and rear turn signal lights? I need to add these to a build and if I can get approximate sizes it'll help.

Has anyone used this grill in an AMT '68 Camaro? Are the parts from the E-Bay seller, hoppersbazaar, good? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-AMT-1967-68-Camaro-RS-SS-Indy-Pace-Car-Hidden-Head-Light-Resin-Grill/161930264599?hash=item25b3cbc017:g:1PAAAOSwRLZUJ6yO

Beautiful Camaro!

Beautiful job!

Do you have pictures of the one you built 10 years ago?

Excellent save Richard! It looks great with the fixes. Did you ever build that Monogram Chevelle body you have in the picture with all the fixes?

Excellent job Jim! What paint/color did you use on the body?

I'm going to give Tamiya putty a try and see if I like it.

That is exactly what I experienced. The tube they replaced was separated into white stuff and brownish stuff. Squadron white putty was great stuff. I can't understand why they changed it.

I recently bought some Squadron White Putty and it's not the same as it's always been. It's now almost like a glue consistency. It seems like they changed the formula. Has anyone else noticed this? Is Tamiya putty like Squadron(how it used to be)?

I used the AMT(Round 2) kit's stripe decals. I angled the kit's hood stripes(narrower towards the front) by separating the outer pin stripes from the decals and then cutting the stripes on an angle so they won't look narrower towards the rear where the hood hump is. I applied the hood decals and then applied the outer pin stripes as separate decals. I hope this makes sense. The cowl induction on the hood hump, SS badges and Chevelle on the trunk are after market decals I had. I re-shaped the side fender and quarter panel bulges. These were way off how they look on a real Chevelle. This is a body I'm painting for a friend for a drag slot car.

Thanks guys. I sprayed the clear on today over the decals and it worked out well.

Is 3 days enough for decals to dry out after being applied before spraying clear(lacquer) over them? I used Walthers Solvaset on them.

Do the AMT stripe decals(in the new release) settle down nicely with setting solution?

Maybe they lay down better on the AMT kit. Hopefully someone who used them on an AMT kit had better results.

Do the hood stripe decals that come with the AMT 1970 Chevelle SS lay down straight? Since the stripes go over the bulge in the hood do they go on even? The stripe decals don't get any wider where they go over the hood bulge so I'm concerned they might look narrower in this area. I hope this makes sense.

I haven't been able to find a picture of a Chrysler engine in the color.

It's the one on the left.

The engine color isn't called burnt orange, it just looks like that way. Sorry about the confusion.

I was talking with Mike at MCW and he found formulas for 3 Chrysler orange engine colors. Street Hemi Orange, Race Hemi Orange and a sort of burnt orange color. I've never seen a Chrysler engine in the burnt orange color.

Did Chrysler ever have an engine color that was burnt orange, a brown-ish orange? I've seen Street Hemi Orange(red-orange color) and Race Hemi Orange.

Does anyone know what years Chevy Engine Orange and Chevy Engine Red was used and on which engines? One looks orange and one is a red-orange color.

Does this blue have a turquoise/teal look to it? It's hard to tell in the pictures.

How about Testors Model Master Tropical Turquoise Lacquer? Is it close?
