tobaccoleafpie Posted May 20, 2021 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 20, 2021 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they’re tribbles. I’ve got 3 completed and 3 nearing completion. 1982 Corvette Special Edition, 1963 Jaguar, and 1985 Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted May 23, 2021 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted May 24, 2021 Share 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...
