AMT 1994 Chevy Camaro Z28 Convertible 1/25 Scale...In Teal.

[Dragonhawk1066]

My version of the AMT 1994 Chevy Camaro Z28 Convertible. The paint is a custom mix of craft paints to match the factory teal color. Createx UVLS 4050 Clear was sprayed on, then wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. Two-tone gray interior was airbrushed on. The wheels were stripped of their chrome plating and airbrushed with Green Stuff World Chrome. All-in-all a pretty decent kit with some nicely molded in details, but could have used some more decals for detailing like scripts, badges and gauges but it is from the 90's before such decals became more prevalent. Fit and finish was decent with the air intake hose, and front wheel/mono-shock assemblies being a bit tricky to install. The wheels and tires also don't seem to be scaled quite correctly, but that might just be me. Overall a pretty decent build though, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. As always, thanks for looking!!

Great looking build. I'm impressed with how nice the craft paints appear on your builds. They look just as nice as auto lacquers.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. The convertible top finish looks great as well. Like the detailing on the interior and engine.

Thanks Tom! Craft paints don't get the love they deserve in my opinion. They spray nice when thinned properly, the metallics are not overly flaky, they have little to no odor, are easy to clean and strip if necessary, and can be cleared with virtually any clear.

Couldn't agree more Craig. I use the cheapest tube type ones thinned with blue glass cleaner (Windex). Main downsides are opacity not great so taking more coats and time to cover; and until the clear is on not durable so absolute care needed to not bump or scrape on anything. BIG upside is I can reproduce virtually any factory color a full size had.

Turn out nice! Love your videos, always waiting for you completed builds videos!

Such a talent with craft paint, talent cause I have many times, but always stick with lacquers since still don’t get the correct way even watching the tutorials many time.

Thanks! And thank you for for watching my channel! I'm sorry my videos haven't helped you with the craft paints, they can be a little tricky to use.

Very clean build! I like it a lot.

You've done a nice job with a body style I never liked on the Camaro. Nice work and paint.

Looking good!
