Hello everyone, both cars are rebuilds of my old models.

On Firebird i changed the wheels ( they are from ‘66 GTO kit) and remake the back panel to look correct. And repolished body.

Camaro was coplete rebuild, I removed the paint, the original had no gloss and the decals were cracked and retouched in some places, Repainted with Tamiya TS-16,I used the remaining decals from ‘69 Camaro convertible and changed the look from RS to standard, the wheels are out of the box with spare parts I do not know what kit comes from.

wow - all three look amazing. that firebird is a beauty. i have another one of those in my stash and may copy you on the color. what kind of paint did you use?

The '66 GTO wheels really complement an extremely clean '68 Firebird build which has an excellent color. 

Great work foiling the wheel openings and laying down the hood decals which can both be challenging  on the stunning '69 Camaro.
