radiohd10 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Finally finished this ‘67 Camaro by Revell. Been wanting to build this for awhile but the work ahead was a little intimidating. I hope it gets a reissue soon because I’d love to build another one, now that I know the pitfalls. Build notes below 🤘🏽 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiohd10 Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 If you’ve built this one before, you’re well aware of the kit’s inaccuracies. I tried to address most of them, but I left the seats as is…we’ll say the owner replaced the originals with a kit set 🤷🏻♂️ I built it as an rs/ss because I didn’t want to fuss with the side trim. The body was a mess out of the box and required significant amounts of scribing, sanding, and puddy - this is my only real complaint aside from the obvious part omissions. The steering wheel, badges and grill are from the model car garage photo etch set. I made good use of various gauge insect pins for trim on the grill and interior. I found the pins are much easier to work with than the jewelry wire I’ve used on previous builds. I also added some random detail to the engine bay and had to restructure the fan because the kit fan had the alternator on the wrong side for some reason. The carpet was done with black jewelry box liner with a dusting of gray primer sprayed across it. A method I’ll be using for all black carpet moving forward. Super easy. The bumper chrome, hub caps, and some engine bits were done with Alclad and the rest of the trim is BMF. The body paint is Splash Paints Mountain Green under Mr Hobby UV Cut gloss clear. Been loving every bottle of Splash i’ve used so far - especially their well-scaled metallics. The interior was done with Mr Hobby black primer and various glosses of clear coat. The wheels and carburetor (not pictured) are from fireball. Had to scratch build the front and rear lights with clear plastic since the kit didn’t come with any. And that’s about it…overall, an amazing little kit. I didn’t take any of my usual outdoor pics because I haven’t had time but I will eventually. Planning on bringing this and a couple others to NNL East on Saturday so we’ll see how it goes… Have a great week everybody! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
