Revell 1967 Chevrolet Camaro 1/25

Steve, your Camaro looks great, slightly off tail lights and all! Great tip though for all to remember. Make a note and put it in the box if you don't plan to build it for some time.

I really hope revell rereleases this kit soon

I had the same problem with the tail lamps  Fixed a hood louvers problem. They were too high. Recessed them into the hood.

Thanks for the tip about the hood vents.

It's taken some time, as I keep getting side tracked by other projects, but I finally got this one painted. One thing I should point out to anyone building this kit is that I have already attached the front and rear body panels. This, according to the instruction sheet, should be done after the floor is attached. I glued these on first as I find it easier to paint the body as a single unit. I have had to shave a little plastic from the front corners of the floor so that it still slots into the body. Luckily the shaved area will barely show when assembled.

First off is Tamiya grey primer straight out of the can.

 

The Mountain Green was approximated with a mix of Zero colours that I already had. The SS decal was applied with a little MicroSet and MicroSol. The area over at the top of the fenders took some patience and MicroSol to conform to the sharp edge, but eventually I got there - decals are still my nemesis!

 

Zero 2K clear applied. Unfortunately, I did get a couple of small specs of dust in the finish. I think I should invest in a spray booth.

 

With a decent thickness of clear over the decal I have been able to flat the body reasonably well with various super fine abrasives finishing with 12,000 grit and a polish.

 

I tried to get some pictures in natural daylight to capture the colour.

 

I don't think my mix of green quite made it close enough to be Mountain Green, but this will have to do. I shall hopefully have some more progress to show soon - if I don't get side tracked by those Ferraris again.

Great looking paint finish and the color is about as close as you could get without ordering the exact color from somewhere. The nose stripe lays down nice and smooth looking.

Looks great in that color!?
