Jantrix Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Finished this up today. A Monogram 1/24 '79 Camaro. Features a 1/25 Viper V10. Wheels and tires from the Mustang Mach III concept. Lowered the stance a bit for the pro-touring look. Paint is Krylon Silver and Italian Olive. As always, comments, criticisms, and suggestions are kindly welcome.
Harry P. Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I kinda like the pseudo-military look you have going. Love how the top panels look like an airplane canopy. Do they come off? Looks like they might...
Kit Basher Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 That is way cool! That Viper engine fits in there nice. Like the color scheme and the "Flying Tiger" license plate. If you wanna race, I've got one in Navy colors, and Agent G has one for the Air Corps.
TooOld Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Very sharp looking car , I really like how smooth the satin paint looks and the details are great ! I agree with Harry about the canopy look of the tops , and the pilots name on the door is cool ! Very nice work .
slusher Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Great build Rob. The viper engine looks right at home in there. Awesome work on this...
Kennyboy Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 What seamless marriage of parts!! Great job! Love it Rob.
Maxicoop Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 that is an awesome build ........ like the colors, the engine fits well, and the stance with those wheels is perfect !!!!!!!

Looks like they might... Thanks Harry. I was all set to leave the ill fitting t-tops off until I had this idea. I did glue them down with a lil Elmers though. They are so light they slide right off from the slightest movement of the model. That is way cool! That Viper engine fits in there nice. Like the color scheme and the "Flying Tiger" license plate. If you wanna race, I've got one in Navy colors, and Agent G has one for the Air Corps. Sounds like it would be a cool race. I'd like to see 'em. Feel free to post them up in this thread. Thanks everyone for the compliments. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. The only downside right now is, I am fresh out of covered display room. No more cases. or room to put a case.
DeeCee Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Turned out great, that v10 would definately take people unawares, thats for sure.

Feel free to post them up in this thread. Rob, you've seen my "69 Corsair", so I won't junk up your thread with my photo. Agent G has a Mustang painted like a P 51 Mustang. It is really cool. Again, great work on this one!
crazyjim Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I think I finally get it - it's supposed to resemble an airplane. Right? Pretty cool build.
Jantrix Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 I think I finally get it - it's supposed to resemble an airplane. Right? Pretty cool build. You got it right on the nose Jim. It's inspired by the F-Bomb Camaro, but I took the bomber theme a little further. Thanks very much.
Lunajammer Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 The canopy glass. Definitely brings the whole thing home for me.
