crazyjim Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Here's some pics of the Camaro I just finished. It's painted with HOK Kandy Tangerine with a coat of Tamiya TS65 pearl clear. I used Spyder wheels and a parts box air filter.
DRG Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 That is a darn nice looking Camaro. Love that color and the interior looks great.
crazyjim Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks Donald. I almost painted it yellow because a friend of mine bought a yellow '70 1/2 when he returned from Vietnam. Same little bumpers up front. He lives in North Dakota and still has the Camaro.
highway Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 That is a darn nice looking Camaro. Love that color and the interior looks great. I agree with Don. What color did you use on the interior, Jim?
crazyjim Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks. The interior is Tamiya Red Brown. First time I did an interior in 1 color. I usually use at least 2 colors.
highway Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks. The interior is Tamiya Red Brown. First time I did an interior in 1 color. I usually use at least 2 colors. Thanks, Jim, and technically you did use two colors, the flocking has just enough difference to set the paint off nicely.
rustybill1960 Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Sharp clean build Man! Really like the interior color, nice. Thank You for sharing Later Russ
crazyjim Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 Thank you again. If it's technically a 2 tone interior because of the flocking, I'm happy.
crazyjim Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 Gotta be the tangerine color. Thanks Mike.
crazyjim Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Mike - a 1:1 Camaro? Can you PM me your real email address so I have it for the Model Car Builders of Florida club? We have 14 people so far. Edited October 27, 2010 by crazyjim
RacinRay88 Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Very nice!! I'm working on the same one right now. Love the color!
Adam144 Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 That does look great. I like the paint, wheels, and flocking. Really nice job. I just got this model recently myself. I have yet to build it.
crazyjim Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks Ray & Adam. It's a very nice kit with eveything fitting well. Flash is very heavy and you'll have to spend some time cleaning it up. It's molded in bright orange plastic that I didn't care for - should be white.
samm1970 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Sweeet looking Camaro, very nice build.I really like the orange color you selected.I built one of these awhile ago.The only complaints that I had about was that it sat too high and the 3 barrel Holley was completely inaccurate. It sat too high for my taste even after fliping the spindles.
crazyjim Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 Box stock the Camaro sat too high. I did the spindle spin and agree it was too high, so I used Evergreen to raise the spindle even higher to lower the front end. I left the rear end because I wanted a slight rake.
Tonioseven Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Beautiful work on it!! I have one of the on the back burner that I need to get around to. Thanks for sharing yours with us!!
crazyjim Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 Always happy to share with my MCM friends, Antonio, and thank you. Hope you'll post your Camaro pics when you get to it.
Greg Cullinan Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Jim Your Z28 is sweet. Your builds are always so clean. I really admire your builds and style.
