Dragonhawk1066 Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I finished up my AMT 1970 1/2 Camaro this morning. Lots of firsts for me on this one and hopefully lots of lessons learned to not be forgotten. Body is done in Tamiya TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue w/Tamiya white acrylic stripes with red pinstripe and hash mark decals. The interior was airbrushed in red and black craft paint, and the chassis was left in Stynylrez black primer. The hood is from Lex's Scale Modeling, the engine from the Revell SSR kit, the wheels and tires from the Revell '67 Chevelle SS396 Streetburner 2n1 kit, and the decals were cut from the Revell Foose Firebird sheet. The mufflers were scratch made, and I used 1/8" styrene tubing for the exhaust pipes and airbrushed them in Vallejo Model Air Aluminum. I both had a lot of fun and lost my patience a few times on this one and might not be keen on undertaking such an in-depth project again anytime soon, lol. Thanks for looking!

TooOld Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Really sharp Camaro , it looks cool with the GS stripes ! Great work !
shoopdog Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Very nice indeed. Is the body finish airbrushed or out of the can?
Plowboy Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 So sharp and well put together! Love the color and the stripes! That had to put a smile on your face when you added the last detail! Nice work Craig!
espo Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Beautiful looking finish on this. I enjoyed following your build and all your efforts really paid off with the final appearance.
AmericanMuscleFan Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Beautiful Camaro Craig! As other have mentioned, the color is very nice and I love the red interior, just the right shade and not too bright. The stance is perfect and the job you have done on the exhaust system is super and very convincing. You can be proud of it sir!
Koellefornia Kid Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Lots of nice parts and a great paint job! Well done!

Spottedlaurel Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 It was looking promising on your WIP thread, end result looks excellent. Something that would look just right at 1:1.
matthijsgrit Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 I didn't even see the number plate, until now: great detail!

Plastic_Passion Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Great vision for this car! I hate the small trunk spoiler on these but it looks right with what you've done! Looks like a sema build!
