Dragonhawk1066 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Here's the AMT 1968 Camaro Z28 that I finished over the weekend. It's painted in Model Master Nassau Blue Metallic, and cleared with Model Master Clear Gloss. I gave it the usual wet-sand, polish, and wax treatment. The interior is two different mixtures of craft paints, one for the seats, door panels and dashboard, and the other for the carpet area and rear shelf. The wheels are from MAD Modeling, and were airbrushed with Molotow Chrome from a refill pen, and the spokes were painted with Anita's Galvanized Tin. The air cleaner is a machined unit from Off The Sprue, the carburetor is from Fireball Modelworks. The trim was done with Bare Metal Foil, and I added valve stems, ignition wires, and heater hoses for extra detail. This was a typical older mold from AMT with a not-so detailed one piece interior tub, but it did go together really well and was a really fun build, so a definite thumbs-up from me. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattilacken Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Beautiful build! First time recalling I se a amt Camaro of this generation. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Great looking Camaro. I have read others saying this is a misshaped body in this kit, but it doesn't look that way here at all. The paint and stripe decals look good and the trim is all cleanly done. I like the realistic way you did the unibodies undercarriage.
