1970 1/2 Camaro 502

[Kyle]

My current project is AMT's 1970 1/2 Camaro. It will be painted orange with white Keith Marks decals (rally stripes). I'm also using a Ross Gibson engine, the MCG photoetch set and a few other goodies, including parts that I make on my lathe. Here are some progress photos so far (hope this works).

I finished my dash board. I added carbon fibre to the instrument panel, added quite a few MCG photoetch parts and made a steering column out of aluminum.

Looks like a killer contest quality build to me! Great job so far!

This is a picture of the back panel of my camaro. I printed the Manitoba liscense plates on my computer. I also scratchbuilt the tail lights. They are made up of a piece of aluminum tubing, a piece of clear plastic, which i painted clear red, and centres that I made on my lathe. Thanks for looking

Wow... What did you use to detail paint the dash like that? I couldn't do that even with a 3-hair brush...

Hey, sorry for the late reply. The guage cluster on the dash is p/e and the guages are printed on clear plastic and came with the p/e set. the radio, vents, heater control, camaro badge, keys, lock buttons are all p/e. The steering column is aluminum.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the info, Kyle! I have to look into those kit specific photoetched kits, for some reason (well, I'm cheap...) I have never used them for any of my models. Those parts really makes the dash look realistic.

Nice job so far...............Especially those tailights!

Looks much better than the kit offerings!

Thanks guys. Olle, the photoetch kits from Model Car Garage are great. They are usually less than $20 and come with a ton of parts.
