happy grumpy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Built box stock. Nice kit easy to build but my only gripe is the rear window fit, it should fit flush with the body. I did not want to mess with a clear part to try to fit so I left it as is. Otherwise, I'm satisfied how it turned out. Paint is clear red over Tamiya silver leaf. Accent color is Tamiya titanium gold. as always , thanks for looking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Looks fantastic in those colors. Odd about the back window. I've built a few of the MPC/AMT 3rd gens and never had a problem with mine. Never fit quite flush like on a 1/1, [I have an '85 T/A out in the garage] but they were closer then on yours. Must be something holding it back maybe? Looks like you did get the windshield to fit flush though, or does the pics make it look that way? I know the kits weren't designed for it.

Thanks Steve, I really tried to fit that rear window but it would not fit either way on top or under so I did my best to fit it there without cutting it, clear plastic is so brittle. The monogram firebird kit does no have this problem the rear window just sits perfectly flush to the lid. On 12/8/2022 at 7:13 PM, Dragonhawk1066 said: Camaro looks great, nicely done!!
