Hawk312 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I posted this one a while back, but I had to get some pictures of it today, and I thought I would share them since the previous pictures weren`t that great. Anyway, this another typical build for me...period correct inspection sticker, window sticker reduced and printed from a real `69 window sticker, chalk markings, brake lines, etc. It`s hard to choose, but I think this is my favorite color scheme for this car.

Scuderia Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 That's ultra-nice. Clean as a whistle, and I would agree this scheme works great on this body. looks like business-time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydar Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 That is a beautiful build. Does the kit have the conventional quad set up as an option? joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Beautiful build David! Ever since I saw this build the first time, I've wanted to try my hand on one of these. But, I still haven't been able to score one at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 David - I had a '68 Camaro that lasted many years and took me many miles. This looks exactly like it should. The engine compartment looks like mine did. I don't see a license plate, so I don't know what state it's supposed to be in, but that windshield inspection sticker even looks like one I had. What a great build and thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 AMAZING build. David, you are truly a THE Master when it comes to 1/12 Camaro's, beautifully built mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk312 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. David - I had a '68 Camaro that lasted many years and took me many miles. This looks exactly like it should. The engine compartment looks like mine did. I don't see a license plate, so I don't know what state it's supposed to be in, but that windshield inspection sticker even looks like one I had. What a great build and thanks for sharing. Thanks Ted`s. Now that I look at the picture, I noticed the license plate is missing. I built this one years ago, so I can`t say for certain, but I usually print out a period correct PA license plate for these. The inspection sticker was a scan and print of either a `69 or `70 PA state inspection sticker from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 David, Super nice build, so you truly are the Camaro expert. I see that I am missing a few things off of mine. One of the nicest I have ever seen. Kenny B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk312 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks Kenny! I think anyone would mistake yours for one of mine, and vice versa. Your Camaro in the Completed section looks perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReptileGuy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Dear Hawk312, I am not totally sure that you are aware, but will assume that you probably are. This forum is for scale models only, not for actual 1:1, real cars that have been restored to perfection.. Lol What an amazing build !! I have this kit here on my shelf, but I can guarantee everyone in the world, that no matter how hard I try, it will never come out anywhere near as nice as yours is. Job well done, thank you so much for sharing. ----Nick R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendog261 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 That is a awesome job on the Camaro. What did you use for the hose clamps they look great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk312 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks Ken! They are actually just the kit molded in clamps painted silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdarkmonkey96 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wow! Absolutely amazing paint work! Everything looks so real. What kit is this? The only 1:12 model I've ever seen for sale anywhere is the Shelby gt500 from revell... Well and the outrageously expensive ferraris and such that sell for 600 plus.. But they don't count in my book.

Hawk312 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks Anthony! This is the Monogram/Revell kit last issued about 5-6 years ago (I think). Usually, there are a few posted on Ebay at any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would leave untouched until I perfected my model building.. I'm more of a painter then a builder. Again, what a beautiful car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
