3men2s Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 that is one bad camaro, Love the old school stuff, great graphics. very clean built. thanks for sharing
crispy Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Sean, That's what made my decision to buy the kit. I love it. I plan on a different base color but using the same decals. Just looks great! Chris
chris coffey Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 VERY cool camaro F/C there Chris!! Do you suppose Slixx has had a run on Dick Harrell Nicky Chevrolet decals for this model?? I hope someone comes out with decals to make the Mr. T camaro funny car!! I gotta get me one or 2 of them kits. Thanks for sharing your pictures!! Chris Coffey, Spokane, WA
bfreez28 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) I started building mine today. Going with a Yellow body/black stripe Z28 style. The box art is just as cool as the kit itself. Well a total of 4 hours trying to get the back half of the chassis to align and Im fed up. looks like this one is goin back into the box. Edited November 18, 2007 by bfreez28

I agree the engineering standard of some of these old kits was not up to today's kits. You might need to do some cutting on the rear package shelf to make the interior tin fit inside the body better. I did a little trimming on my box art model to make it fit. Larry Henley did a lot of modifying on his which is why the orange car on the box sits lower. Take your time with this kit and it will build up nice.
S. Svendsen Posted November 21, 2007 Author Posted November 21, 2007 Looking for some suggestions here ... what color other than white do you guys think would look good with those panel decals? I REALLY hate to not use those! Here's my color suggestions for you. -orange side panels on a yellow or red car w/ solid black stripes -blue flame stripes on a silver, black or green car w/out side panels -orange side panels on a blue car w/ solid white stripes.
Harry P. Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Uh..........how is our little scale driver supposed to see where he's going with that enormously out of scale airscoop???
Mike Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Uh..........how is our little scale driver supposed to see where he's going with that enormously out of scale airscoop??? Drive by braile.
Raul_Perez Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Nice build!! I almost bought the kit last week, but I just have too many newer, nicer kits to make me want to spend the time it takes to make these old (MPC in this case?) kits look like something that I want to keep. Keep up the good work!!
82notch Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I recently finished this kit and have nothing but good things to say about it.......I went with the orange and white stripes scheme myself....
