Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Here's my version of the AMT 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup. This is my second build of this kit and both were really fun builds. This one is painted in Createx Pearl Plum and cleared with Createx UVLS 4053 High Gloss Clear. I hollowed out the grille and used Bare Metal Foil for the trim. I used craft paint for the bed and taped off the bed rails and airbrushed Molotow Chrome. The interior is painted in Apple Barrel Antique White and the Pearl Plum and I added a turn signal indicator for extra detail. I used the kit engine, but added the heads, valve covers, and exhaust manifolds from the AMT 1955 Chevy Bel Air. I also added heater hoses and spark plug wires for extra details. The suspension was lowered and I used the wheels and tires from the Revell 1970 Pontiac Firebird kit. To make room for the wheels/tires, I cut some of the bed and inner bed wall out and added wheel tubs made from a prescription pill bottle and some .010" sheet styrene. The exhaust was custom made using the crossover pipe from the Bel Air kit, some 3/32" styrene tubing, and a scratch built muffler. Aside from the well-known front and rear window fit issue, this was a pretty nice fitting kit and a lot of fun to build. If interested, I have some progress videos showing some of the modifications and techniques I used during the build process on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop. As always, thanks for looking!! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
