1981 CAMARO Z28

[BKF]

Hello everyone.

Here is my recently finished Revell 1981 Camaro Z28 painted in MCW 2084 Dark blue met. Interior is MCW Medium and Dark Blue interior semi gloss lacquer. Body is cleared with decanted Testors Extreme lacquer. The Testors Clear didn't do so well out the can and I didn't do much better decanting it. Although the test spoon I did the day before did great so I definitely need more practice airbrushing clear. I've got a few cans of the Testors so I'm going to try and use it up. I 3d printed the wheels and tires which I believe were from ZForcemodelworx and also experimented with designing and printing the arm rest. The glass had a decent twist in it and didn't fit very well so I glued it with ca glue of which I didn't like doing. I did get a small bit on the back glass but did the best I could to remove it. I also lowered the front end but left the rear as is.

Great job, love that color.

This is very close to the car Pam Babineau picked me up in when she decided it was time her and I got to know one another. I seriously wish I had a picture. You guys would know why I got in immediately.

Great build!

That is a really sweet looking Camaro. I’m doing a 79 Z28 at the moment in much the same colour scheme. Hope mine turns out as sharp as yours. 👍🏻

Wow! Has a realistic 1:1 look to this build. Nice job.

Beautiful paint color and finish the factory style Z-28 stripes look good with this color combination. The wheels look just like the optional wheels of the day, and they also showed up a few years later on the Monte Carlo SS.

Very nice job on the Camaro! Did you paint the tail lights or use the decals?

[Perspect Scale Modelworks]

Really nice job on a not so nice kit. Love the colors.

Thank you. I used the decals. I then brushed on a couple coats of QuickShine. Then I put on a few more coats of QuickShine mixed in with either a black paint or black dye. Not sure which it was but I made sure it would mix together. I was trying to slightly darken the decals like a window tint might do. Then I put on one or two more coats of plain Quickshine. In person it looks ok but really looks good on camara with the light bringing out the depth and shine.

Stunning paint work. Always liked the '80-'81 model years in dark blue. Also great job on the interior and the reflective t-tops.
