Rain-X Camaro 1993 Champ Scott Sharp

[Rich Chernosky]

Just off the Bench. Scott Sharps 1993 Championship winning Rain-X Camaro. Color for this is Tamiya TS16 Bright yellow.  Kit is mostly box stock with several modifications and additions.  More info in the picture captions.  Not a bad kit for being 30yrs old. This is first third time around for the Revell Camaros so many of the problems I encountered with the first two were easily solved. Kept lots of notes and this helped greatly. Thanks for looking.

Chassis on this kit is very well detailed so only seatbelts and some engine wiring were added. Note the three pins sticking out of the chassis.  Also the magnets on the front clip (thanks Mark) These hold the body firmly to the chassis and were done first thing. 

VBack of the chassis also shows the wealth of detail. Some tricky assembly but all fit fairly well.  Uuuhh..except the front firewall and dash. That required some surgery.

Finished car on its wheels. Car sits low and mean.  Wheels steer with the kit tie-rod.

Rear view. Glass fit pretty good.

May have to take the body back off and re-position that mirror and side support. Don't think its right. About those decals. They were a real bear. Getting them off the paper was a struggle, moving them into position was a struggle, the front and back had to be cut into 3 pieces just to get them on. Although for 30yr old decals that is to be expected. Once on and in position they dried nicely and conformed very well. Never saw decals that wanted to fold under so easily. Took some work and patience. 

This completes my set of the three kits Revell issued  in 93-94.  Cool collection.  Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Nicely done!

She really is a good looking race car.  The model is just as nice.  I have come to understand that these are tough kits to build, so my hat is off to you for building all three!  Sweet looking trio!

Those all turned out really nice.  Now if you want to be a gluten for punishment, there are the Slixx decals to do the AER, Glidden & Royal Oak versions of the Camaros.  I did the Royal Oak version for my build a few years ago.

Beautiful Camaro trio Rich. You have such a nice variety of builds that allow me to discover interesting kits I was not aware existed. Brings back nice memories of my days at the factory where we built the C/F 4's

Great looking models of some great looking cars.

You learn as you go. Once you  get one done the rest go a little easier. These

are typical domestic Revell so a lot of fitting and seam scraping but do-able.

That's "glutton" Steve and yes I am one. Unfortunately the kits and decals are getting rarer. Thanks for posting. Yours is really nice and would make a handsome additiion to my collection.

Always a pleasure Pierre.  I get the same from your posts as well.

Really nice work on all of these, they look great.

[Bainford]

Nice work, Rich. I have heard these Revell Camaros can be a bear to put together. You certainly seem to have mastered that. Great looking race car.

[Phildaupho]

Fantastic collection of Camaros from the second great era of the Trans-Am series

[slusher]

Beautiful detailed Camaro!

[spencer1984]

Great looking trio! I built the Hot Wheels version back when they were on shelves, and keep thinking I ought to get another one.
