Dragonhawk1066 Posted August 1, 2020 Share 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!

Plowboy Posted August 2, 2020 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted August 2, 2020 Share 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!
