Turquoise one with T-tops is the full kit MPC. Green solid-roof is the "AMT" snapper obviously based on the same molds. I actually had more fun building the snapper. Thanks for looking.

Both look great! I like working with snappers (and promos) too - the simplicity and lack of opening panels can be an advantage.

Nice job. What colors are they?

I THINK the turquoise was a custom mix of Olds Engine Blue and Testor Jade Green Metalflake, IIRC. Or something like that. The green is Model Master Brit Green metallic over a primer of MM 34086 Olive Drab Green military.

I WANTED to paint the first one Purple Haze, just as a tribute to Jimi, but I wasn't able to get even close with a paint mix. Yeah, yeah, I know about MCW....

Sweet! '91-'92 is my favorite years of Camaro. The tall spoiler just does it for me.

Back in '97 I was a junior in high school. There was a senior named Chris who had a real-deal '91 1-LE 5.0/5spd. White with dark gray interior. It also had a bunch of bolt-on goodies like sub frame connectors, Eibach springs, Koni shocks & struts, Hedman headers, cat-converter delete, Flowmaster 3" exhaust with single left-hand tail pipe, Crane 1.6 roller rockers, Jet under drive pullies and Hurst shifter. The license plate read: "Z 1LE". He kept that car in perfect condition for years until he caught the road-racing bug. It became a weekend track car and got beat to hell. It still makes me sick when I think about it.
