damop6v8 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited December 11, 2014 by damop6v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford guy Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Sweet looking Camaro Damian, It has the right look to it. Great looking paint, perfect stance, and incredible detail in the interior. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbben Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Looks great. Where did you get those decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damop6v8 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damop6v8 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 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!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
