S. Svendsen Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Here's another one I just finished for Model King. This is a re-issue of the Ertl 70 Z-28 from about 5 years ago. It's an excellent kit with lots of detail. I created an all new decal sheet for it with accurate stripes in both black and white this time. The original issue decals did not have the white stripes and the rear of the stripes was incorrect for the short spoiler. I also added all the Z-28, SS and Rally Sport emblems, gauge faces and air cleaner decals. In addition there are two sets of custom stripes and a bunch of license plates. The other markings are a mixture of vintage drag racing and modern SCCA autocrossing. The box art models were built by James Tester and Tom Miller who did an awesome job! The kit will be out by the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the AMT Baldwin Motion Camaro when it was first released, and have searched high & low for the Z28 version. now my search is done. and with a great set of decals. good things come to those who wait. Thanks for the info. Bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert81 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 i have both already but if those decals are as half as good as they look they are worth the price of admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wow! BEAUTIFUL Box Art!! How come RC2 couldn't do such great box art?? I think a lot of their problems wouldn't be if they focused on the product instead of a quick buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kren Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I like these box arts very nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Peterson Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Oh, yeah...this might be one worth loading up on when it comes out. I know I'll want a couple. I guess I share Bill's thoughts on the box art. Why couldn't a multi-million dollar company see the value in turning the box art up a notch or two? As anyone who has been in a singles bar knows, packaging is everything. The average consumer often goes for what they think they see more so than what they'll have when they get home. On this Camaro kit in particular...has anyone in the aftermaket come up with a cleaner option for the headlight trim? The way it's molded in it's a bear to foil, and doesn't look nearly as clean and crisp as the real car. I know there are limitations in scale, but I wonder if somebody came up with a better way?

Dave Van Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Why are the MK boxes so much better than any RC2/LC/AMT box?? A few reasons....Dave Burket CARES what he puts his name on and has more knowlegde about kits than RC2. Sean is a true artist and is able to design a box top from a modelers POV. All it takes is a little care and talent. Dave and Sean allow me to help out once in a while and both are great folks to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of their problems wouldn't be if they focused on the product instead of a quick buck! Even if RC2 had the great box art, you usually didn't get what was on the box in the box. At least with the newer kits. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuffy's Garage Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Looks like I might have to get a few of them. Is there a release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Wow, good timing on this rerelease, with great box art and a truely fantastic decal sheet! Are those gray or silver stripes (I can't tell from the pic)? I will be getting one of these. Thanks for you your effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Svendsen Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 I spec'ed the emblems, the Lindsey Chevrolet graphic and a pair of stripes to be in silver. Silver stripes weren't a factory option but I thought somebody might like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
