Camaro Concept

[loudcherokee]

Here's AMT's Camaro Concept kit. This is part of an Old and New series I'm building over a period of time. It will include the 69 Camaro and Camaro Concept, the 67 Shelby GT350H and the 06 Shelby Mustang GT-H, the 70 Challenger and the 2009 Challenger. The big three. All paint schemes will be the same between the old and new.

Here's some not so great pics of the 69. I cant take any pics of them together yet since the 69 is on my desk at work, and I dont go back until 08/03/09.

Here's the old and new mustang kits, waiting to be built.

I'm still waiting to get the 2009 Challenger by Revell. I'm not a big fan of curbside kits, so i passed on the offerings by AMT. I also need to find a way to get an RT hood for the 70 Challenger. I would much rather use the TA kit, since it's not slab sided like the new revell 70 challenger kit. I bought that kit anyways, but after looking at the box art more, and seeing some built up in comparison to the TA model in 1:24 scale, I just cant get over those side panels. Maybe I can alter the hood from the 1:25th RT kit to make it fit the 1:24th TA kit. If anybody knows where I can get a 1:24th RT hood, please let me know.

cool idea

i dont know of anyone who makes a 1/24 RT hood

now, if you are willing to build a 1/25 version then there are the vanishing point 1970 RT

the johhny lightning 1970 RT (this will be a pain since it is a ragtop) and the new revell 1970 RT/TA

Cool idea, nice build. You might want to consider BMF for your window trim, far easier than painting. You also might try a google search for Wayne Puffer, or Muscle in Miniature, he did a resin 1/24 R/T hood in the 90's I bought one from him, and used it on my 70 T/A kit.

Oh, I definately have switched to BMF from now on. That silver paint gave me so many problems. The only reason I used it, was the BMF I was previously trying to apply was the Ultra Bright Chrome foil, and that stuff was just NOT sticking. I decided to give up on the BMF and just use the testors silver chrome in a bottle. Much to my dismay, after shooting clear over the body, the silver paint was affected, and dripped in a couple of places, and somehow dulled way down.

I definately learned my lesson on that one!

Thanks for the tip for the hood. I'll go search that name right now!
