AMT 68 Camaro Z/28

[DRH_97]

I've been working on this one for about a week. I've reworked ride height, removed body trim, narrowed front fenders at grille, replaced wheels with similar set from a 67 Chevelle kit. I almost abandoned the kit, but decided to finish it. Still much to be done to

Certainly looking good... the stance is on point!

Looks like good clean work! You've got '67 Rally Wheels on a '68. There's a difference between the center caps of the two, if that matters to you.

He did say that he took them from a '67 Chevelle. So, I think he knows.

I liked the 67 wheels better. Historical accuracy generally not a big deal on most of my builds, especially on a kit that was poorly represented to begin with.

I didn't assume he knew there was a difference.

Okay, drive on then. BTW, there are a few simple things you can do to those AMT Camaros to make them look a lot more accurate, but no sense wasting your time on them if accuracy doesn't interest you. Model on!

any feedback is welcomed, Interested to hear your tips!

Here's a tutorial I wrote on the subject. The Photobucket pics are now hard to see, but maybe you can still get the idea.

Snake that was a very impressive write up on this kit, and what needs to be done to recreate the original. If i can get it close, and create my vision of what I thought it should be when i bought the kit, that's good enough for me. All of my kits go into cases to be stored in a closet in my office/guest bedroom, so i don't have to have "contest or museum quality and accuracy" to get joy form the hobby.

Looks good... I have always like this kit.

finally got some paint on it

Looks good in the silver and black! That's one of my favorite colors on any generation Camaro!

[Modlbldr]

Yeah, that is looking really good. Nice and smooth.

Almost complete. Waiting on photo etched parts and some minor trim work. This one is mostly out of the box, but I did lower teh stance and opened the wheel wells a bit.

Looks Sharp ! Love the 67-69 camaros! Looks like a nice build!

Good Job ?

Agree with Roger looks good with the silver and black combo.

And think similar to Anton, really like Camaro's something about the shape.
