David Thibodeau Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 This is the new full glue kit of the 2010 Camaro SS. I am really excited about tackling this one! The boxart: Upon opening the kit: The body is crisply molded and will look fantastic in Scalefinishes Synergy Green basecoat!! The chassis and interior components The kit is very nicely detailed. It also comes with body sills, a front lower valance and rear lower valance that I plan on putting to use. Full suspension components accurate to the finest detail. Of course you can build a stock SS if you desire. Full engine detail and stock or custom wheels. nicely molded rubber tires look proper in proportion (sans any sidewall detail.) Rear tail lights are molded in red plastic. Revell also gives you metal exhaust tips. Beautiful decal sheet with a few stripe options. Here is the body in Scalefinishes Synergy Green and Omni two part urethane clear. I painted all the body kitparts gloss black for contrast. This build will be similar to thecamaro at the SEMA show. I carefully painted the custom wheel centers by brush with acryl gloss black. Then I picked out details with chrome silver. A quick mock up. I plan on painting the interior black. More very soon on what so far appears to be a fine new kit from Revell!!

Austin T Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 One of the lunch ladies at my school owns a synergy Green Camero,Sometimes you just wonder......Excelent combo with the wheels and paint.
Dragline Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Looks great! The new "must have" kit list continues to expand. Bob
mademan Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I have already put down $$ on a case of these at the local hobby shop!!! I cannot wait.
kelson Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Looks like a real good kit,think i'll be buying at least 3-4 of them,it'll be interesting to see if this can be kitbashed with Amt's convertible curbside kit.
horsepower Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Do I see some possible carbon fiber decaling coming in the future installments?

1972coronet Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Looks like a nice kit ! Thanks for your review / W.I.P. Dumb question time : In 1:1 Scale , is Chevy planning a Drag Race ("Body-In-White") model to compete with the Ford Mustang Drag Pack and Challenger S/S ? Even if not , I can see a Dick Harrell 'phantom' being built ...
mikethepoormodeler Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 David, is this kit for sale now, or did you get a copy to do a build of? Your 1/12th scale Mustang build was exceptional, by the way.
Tonioseven Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I need at least two of these. Great work on it so far!

Rob Hall Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 David, is this kit for sale now, or did you get a copy to do a build of? Your 1/12th scale Mustang build was exceptional, by the way. it's out now..picked up one at my LHS yesterday...probably going to get a couple more eventually.
mikethepoormodeler Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks, Rob. I will keep my eyes open for this one.
Casey Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 It seems odd the box art models would both have black painted side view mirrors. Good to see Revell investing in another "new" car tool. Hopefully the next one will be 1/12 scale, to go along with the Shelby Mustang or the '69 Camaro Z/28.
gasman Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 kit is out, bought it today at LHS along with the R8 Spyder. Steve Kinser Sprint car is also out.
Olskoolrodder Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 That's the PERFECT color on em (REALLY close if not the same as the 1:1),my favorite hue on em. I'm anxious to see this build!

oldscool Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Nicely done kit. Too bad it is a kit of a butt fugly, ill proportioned car. Try as I might, I just can't see the beauty in these monstrosities. And just so I won't appear biased because I'm a Mopar man, I would like to say that I feel the same way about the Chargers. gus
whale392 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Ok, you mention and vaguely show the front and rear valances (the custom versions). Would it be possible to get a good shot of these parts (as the front end treatment (if that is what it is) looks to be the 'Z/28' prototype front. I would be interested in the kit if that were the case.
Johnny1973 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 David, Nice color choice.Revell did a nice job as always.

W-409 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 That Camaro, DoubleD posted, is something I'll build from this kit. That'll be the first version of this new Camaro, but the second one will be the SS/BM Super Stocker!
W-409 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 the picture i posted above is the "COPO" concept Camaro. supercharged 327 LS, Powerglide and a Ford 9" rear axle IIRC. so far nothing online that shows that Chevrolet has built any of them, but they want to. Yeah, that's true. But I still want to build it.
