Finished 1/24 Revell/Monogram 79 Z28 Camaro, Pro-Touring

[damop6v8]

Hi Guys, finally finished this Camaro, gone for the Pro-Touring look with Wheels, Tyres, Seats, Brake rotas, steering wheel & seat decals pinched from Tamiya's 1/24 Porsche 911 GT2 Road version. Paint is Ford Cardinal red from auto rattle can, several coats, wet sanded after 3 coats, 2 further the left & polished. Very pleased with the look, last pic is my real 79 Z28 I sold back in 2002, cheers Damian

Sweet looking Camaro Damian, It has the right look to it. Great looking paint, perfect stance, and incredible detail in the interior.

Awesome!

Looks great. Where did you get those decals?

[damop6v8]

Many thanks Roy, I try to get all my model cars to have the right stance & decent wheels, I thinks its the make or break of a finished model, yes very pleased with the interior as exposed with the T-Top option.

Hi Ben, the decals are with the kit, its the 3-1 version, stock, drag or street,, there's also a set of blue ones as an option, these would look great with a light met blue or silver paint work, equally the gold/bronze I've used would look great with met gold or even black finish paint, I think the factory finish was red & orange, I know my real one had this combo before I repainted it & chose the dark grey/silver graphics, I guess it was an option for these from the factory ?

Cheers guys Damian

I see you upgraded from your 1:1 ..wheels

I bet you would take 'em if only $10.00 (+shippingLMFAO)

Looks great

Cheers

Reason is I have the original issue and only have the orange decals

Love the model and wheels. You can compare with the one I built 10 years ago.

Very nice, i like these wheels on your Camaro!

[johnbuzzed]

I'm not big on Camaros but I do like yours. It looks good and it's tastefully done. I would be happy to have that on my shelf.

[Jeff B]

Very nice build, tasteful wheels. Makes me want to add one of these to my stash.

Lookin' good Damian! Your 1:1 looks good also and sorry to hear you sold it. Man I hate it when that happens!

[Daddyfink]

That just looks right! Very nice build!

[damop6v8]

Many thanks for all your great comments guys I remember the original Monogram release way back in 79 with the red decals only!

I saw the black that one Yong Iron built a while ago, this gave me inspiration to build this one using the Pro-Touring theme.

Next build is too finish the Dick Landy 69 Charger I started a while ago, also staying with 68-69 chargers, I think I'll build one similar to my profile pic, I have two sets of alloys from the Monogram yellow 55 Ford pick up and the orange 69 Camaro, both original releases from 78~79 I think, one set for the 69 in bronze & one set for the black 68 (Profile pic) this is the Bronze version I like, awesome looking car, pic of my small but unbuilt stash of kits sitting in my under stairs cupboard!

Cheers for now & thanks again!.

Great to see more builds posted here from our side of the pond, Damian!

Really nice build you did there. The paint is awesome and it looks like the time spent on the details were well worth it.
