Perspective Customs Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 This is Revell's latest reissue of the '81 Z28. Not a great kit. I tried to correct some it's many flaws. The kit interior is very light on detail and actually looks more like a Firebird interior. The owner supplied the interior from a Monogram 1/24 '80 Camaro which I finessed into the 1/25 body, added Berlinetta strips and piping. Wheels are from a Monte Carlo on Parts Pack tires. The T-tops were removed and I corrected the front and rear windows. Paint is Scale Finishes' Chevy Charcoal Metallic. It's built curbside so I didn't have to deal with replacing the engine. Thanks for looking. Hope you like. Let me know what you think. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Beautiful looking paint and Z trim. The finishes and the interior are very realistic looking. I was working at a Chevrolet dealership when this year model came out and the first one received was this color combination without the T-Tops. I took it for a Demo and stopped at the Mall on my way home that night after work. When I came out someone had pried off the tri color Z-28 emblems from the grill and the fuel filler door. The dealer was not very happy, and I got to pay for the replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Murphy's law thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Other than a 70 split this is my favorite Camaro. I wish you guys could have seen Pam Babino driving hers on the Ave in 1986. Blonde hair blowing with Queensryche blaring on the tapedeck. Many a mortal man was jealous when she picked me up in it. Oh the build....... Awesomeness bro. Sorry, got carried away there....

Camaros had a flattish area at the top of the wheel openings. Nonetheless you did a beautiful job on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
