Revell '67 camaro Updated 3/30/16

Hey Everybody! I've been fooling with this Camaro for about a month now. I found some really nice resin steel wheels on ebay, & took the dog dish hubcaps from the COPO Camaro kit. Going for a pro-touring look I guess. Paint will be Butternut Yellow with the black nose stripe. Power comes from the kit big block. Thanks for looking & all comments welcome!!

I like steelies and dog dishes, but not the pro touring style ones. Factory for me. Your color scheme sounds good. Looks like a flat hood there? If so, with that color, I would put a 6 in it!

Hey Everybody! I finally got around to getting some color, decals, & clear on this thing. I haven't wet sanded or polished anything yet, but it's getting there.

That is really cool. Was doubtful of the steelies in the first set of pictures but a splash of color really made them pop!

That is GM Butternut Yellow from Paintscratch. Great material to work with.

That is looking sweet! Nice to see something other than red or hugger orange.

Where did you get the wheels?

[665@213]

The wheels came off of ebay, a seller named forward resin. I bought a second set for the Monogram 55 F100 kit, gonna do something a little different with that one also.

Very nicely casted wheels.

Sweet looking build with the color choice and wheels.

Car looks great...I mean no disrespect by this but, I think a gunmetal color on the wheels would make it a little more aggressive looking while maintaining a stock look if that makes sense......great job though either way.

Sweet looking car..If you don't mind though..The deep dish steelies and tires just don't cut it to me..Stock steelies in yellow and regular type tires would do the trick..Very nice and clean build..Six cylinder would just cap off the look...

Interesting look on the steel wheels,I lime the color,should look great when finished.

[deuces wild]

Cool!

Are those scripted valve covers on the big block???

If so, where did you get those???.. Or are those decals..

[665@213]

The valve covers, heads, & headers are from the COPO camaro kit, I just smoothed the covers & shot them orange. The scripts are decals from the Revell 57 Belair post kit, the hood & trunk emblems. I thought it would look kinda nostalgic, & I like the way it turned out.

I dig the wheels on it. I'm sure somebody ELSE will do the standard-size steel wheels. Not everybody wants to follow the same route to a completed build. Also, I believe if one likes to see a build done a certain way, the one should BUILD it that way. Keep on with this Camaro they way YOU see fit to build it.

I like it,nice blend of classic,original and pro touring.

[Tonioseven]

Right on!! B)

Gun Metal is so played out.

This is a very cool build as is

Didn't mean to ruffle every bodies feathers as I said it looks awesome....just sharing my opinion apparently that was wrong of me sorry Jeremiah

[665@213]

Hey everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. It's just a model car, this is how I wanted to do it. Thanks everyone for the comments. I thought about doing the wheels a different color,but I wanted a low key,toned down look. That's why I did it the color I did it, too. I wanted something different, and I think I've accomplished that.

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Looks awesome either way

I have to agree, the wheel, tires, and color give it character, nice to see fresh ideas that look this great...

[665@213]

Hey everyone. I pulled this thing back out after getting aggravated with a paint issue. I got another kit and changed some things, removed the lock cylinders,  a few other little things.  Paint is still Butternut yellow. Waiting on some bare metal foil and then I will finish it up.

[mikemodeler]

Looking great!

 

[GTJUNIOR]

Looks good.
