This is not a bad kit at all. It goes together nicely, just about everything fits well, and it looks good when finished. Is my build 100% factory stock? Nope. Do I care? Nope. I could have added more detail and I actually screwed up the body script decals by using the wrong ones placed incorrectly. Do I care? Nope. I had fun building it and painting it and adding what detail I did. After all, that's what it's all about to me, enjoying what and how I build something, and it's an easy kit to build. I like easy. ? It's painted in Bolero Red with a non-stock tan interior. The black stripes came with the kit, along with white ones as well. The current issue of this kit adds silver stripes in addition to black and white. Thanks for looking.

Great looking paint color and smooth finish. The body trim all looks cleanly done. I had forgotten about the unique air cleaner attached to the cowl.

Great job David, and that paint job is soooo smooth.  What paint is it?

 

Thank you Mike. It's a 67 GM color, originally purchased from a now defunct company called Rainbow Products. It's an acrylic lacquer, with their clear applied and polished.

I wish they were still in business. Their paints were exceptional, pre-thinned and sprayed so nicely through an airbrush.

You also left the AMT '67-'68 Camaro body year conversion wing vents off, which adds to a much cleaner look. Bitchen '67 Camaro Z/28, David!

The kit actually gave two options for the air cleaner, stock and cowl version. I thought the cowl version was very cool so I chose that option.
