This kit is an OLD Monogram snap kit. Very basic parts count, non-existant interior detail. Some of the snap aspects of its parts fitting is nice though. May not be the last snapper I build up. Glad it's being re-released as the '85 version in the 'fall'. Wheels are the option from the '70 BOSS Mustang kit.

Fantastic execution. Snapper or high detail, it all boils down to what you bring to it and yours looks really crisp. I drove an 82 Camaro for nine years. No complaints.

Thanks for the kind words. I was minus details so I went with a slight two part body colour. I was considering a thin red line above the silver, but wasn't sure how to execute it right. When i was a kid i loved seeing these style Camaro's

Your Camaro does look good but its a '85-89 Z28

'82-84 Z28 front bumper and taillights

Very correct,it's most likely tooled off of Monogram's old '85 Z28,which was a pretty dang good,if basic,kit. The spoiler kit,hood and tail lights are the dead-give aways as to year. AMT had an '82-84 Z28 in 1:25 scale...

NOT that that matters,as you did an AWESOME job putting it together,it looks great,I love it! Despite the Ford Pony in my avatar (that was in my driveway last and the first half of this year),I had '87 and '89 IROC-Z's,I wish we'd see more 3rd gen Camaro's in scale (and 1:1). Nicely done,my friend! :D

Thanks for the kind words and the input, I didn't realize they did the 85 car before branding this one as an 82 lol. That crazy Monogram...

Great build, can't tell its a snapper at all. These used to be everywhere but a lot of them got crashed at the local racetracks, just like the Monte Carlos.

You did a great job,but i believe you have the original snap kit of the 85'Z28E released in the mid 80's,monogram also released the 82-84 Z28 as a snaptite kit representing the car from the 80's tv show Simon and Simon.

Yeah neither did i, but this one does (kinda lol) Apparently the subsequent re releases were all of the same tool from what i can gather google searching as well.

A really good build, I have always liked this particular Camaro. Considering that it was a snap kit, you have made it into something special. Well done.
