tobaccoleafpie Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Years ago, I received an ’85 Monogram 1/8 Camaro and it was a glueball paint disaster. He did not sand out the casting lines. The car was painted in a silver enamel followed with a pearl coat and then a gloss coat, not that you’d notice. The paint was sloppy and sagging. Plus Monogram had a knack for making warped hoods. However, I do like his engine work and the treatment of the underbody. After sitting for years in the garage collecting dust, I thought I’d give it a makeover with a black and white theme. I wish I had before pics but I didn’t think to do it.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Very nice! Despite what it may have looked like before, it sure looks great now!! I loved those old 1/8 scale kits (still do), but they're so doggone big. Back in the mid-late 80's, my brother and I had about 5 of them between us, but we didn't have a place to put them and they wouldn't fit back in the box when completed, so only one ever got built, lol. my

Yes, they’re tribbles. I’ve got 3 completed and 3 nearing completion. 1982 Corvette Special Edition, 1963 Jaguar, and 1985 Corvette.
Oldmopars Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 I love it, looks great. I also have this kit unstartedlong with about 3 Corvette, a 32 Ford and several Big Red Rods all 1/8 scale. Good job on the rescue.
kilrathy10 Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Man, I miss these... Great job on it... I'd love to have the two that I used to have back... Not only were they huge, but they were very nice builds... I built one when I was a kid, and I really wish I still had it... I'm really liking yours...
