RandyB. Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Just finished this kit but did encounter a few fit issues with it and ended up breaking the driver's side "A" post. Fixed it as best as possible but it does detract from the overall appearance slightly. Not much you can do about it as these things do happen from time to time. Anyway, have a look and see what you think and thanks for checking her out. Edited July 30, 2014 by RandyB.
peekay Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Nice looking model, Randy. And yes, things happen and I've learned to live with stuff like that. Most of my models have some (for me) glaring imperfection on one side - so they get displayed with that side to the wall and I soon forget about it.
slusher Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Very sharp model Randy. It has happened to me also. Nice work...
philo426 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 What fit issues did you have?what could have caused the snapped pillar?I built the kit and everything fit perfectly!
Helix Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks good Randy, hugger Orange seems to be a popular colour, that's a few I've seen in this colour now
DynoMight Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Classic car with a classic color! Great job! Did you break the post when you put the body on the chassis?
RandyB. Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. I broke the post trying to fit the interior. For some reason this interior wouldn't fit up in tight enough to the top of the doors. I guess I got a little too aggressive with it. I built the Revell '69 Z/28 and didn't have that problem...not sure why this one was being stubborn. Anyway I got the putty and sandpaper out and managed to get the post looking a little better than the way it looked in the first pic I posted. Edited July 30, 2014 by RandyB.
bogger44 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Beautiful build Randy. Sorry about the A pillar, those types of setbacks happen to all of us from time to time. Looks like you were able to repair it pretty well. A couple weeks ago I finally got to see my first actual 1:1 COPO and man was it loud, but not from the exhaust but rather the colors.....Daytona Yellow with a yellow houndstooth interior. It was eye-searing in the blazing sunshine!
Dominik Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 well done Randy! like it. its nice to see the hugger orange on a model
RandyB. Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks guys on the great comments. Well I took some better pics of the Camaro today. I fixed the post late last night so I had to take indoor pics under poor lighting conditions. Check out my repaired post taken outside in the sun plus a couple of other angle pics.
Maxicoop Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Dang Randy , I can't even tell where the post was broken, ifyou wouldn't have said any thing and posted these pics no one would have known ......GREAT build !!!!

Thanks Roger and Ron. Things like that really bug me and I just couldn't leave it that way. Feeling better now.
