'78 Chevy El Camino

[The German]

Hello everyone,
...after a somewhat longer absence, I would like to present you a model of mine again today. The '78 Chevy El Camino.
There are three possible presentation options. With a hard top, with a cover and without either of the other two, just as a pickup.

I know the Camino isn't perfect, but who is?
Check it out and tell me what you think about it. Constructive criticism is also okay. Thanks for watching...

The tailgate doesn’t seem to fit quite right, but other than that, it’s very nice. I really like your diorama too!?

Sharp Elcamino

[Maindrian Pace]

I like the color and the Cragars, '70s all the way.

I think I like it better with an open bed. Great color

I'm a personal fan of El Caminos. Nice color combination with the body and the interior. Did the shell and the bed cover come in the kit? The reason I ask is the bed cover looks like it rides a little high. I don't know if you pined the side view mirrors, but from their position it looks like they may have shifted on you when the glue was drying. Like the stance and the wheel and tires selection looks great. Nice job with the imitation wood steering wheel.

Very nice work 
I have been thinking about getting the revell 78 el camino to make into a 78 gmc caballero 

[Yeah Nah]

Nice El Camino Uwe. Love that colour!

Nice El Camino, I like the color, well done on a kit that isn't easy to build.

...first of all, thank you very much for your numerous answers!
Yes, I know there are some flaws in the model, but I already said it in the posting above, the Camino is not perfect... I know about the small errors (tailgate, exterior mirrors, etc.) but in hindsight it's not just to fix it again.
Unfortunately, the color was only a second choice; the original plan was silver with a wide wine-red stripe, which is why the interior is also wine-red. A "subtle" accident happened while painting and I had to bathe the body in Dowanol. Then brown metallic came onto the model.
Thanks again for the comments...

Very nice El Camino!

Very cool! I love El Caminos.

[ewetwo]

I can't find any fault with it. Nice color. Nicely done.

[The German]

Thank you all for your very nice comments!

Really nice build. Let the errors serve as inspiration for future  projects. That's what I do.

I actually found a mpc 81 gmc caballero kit 2 years ago for 8$ a heck of a deal it was.  I wanna build GMC version to.

I built the black knight version of a 78 Elcamino years ago. Unfortunately i no longer have that one. The Caballero's are cool.
