1970 1/2 Camaro

cool!

I like the choice of color.How did you paint the rims and what colors did you use?

Thanks guys!  I really like the dark green/ white stripe combo along with the tan interior.  Looks more luxury car than Z28.

I sprayed the rims with Krylon Gloss smoke gray.  Then, I dullcoated them to tone it down and hand brushed the rim inserts with Testor's aluminum.  I also carefully went around the bowtie on the hubcaps with blue, to replicate the stock rims.

I like it...really nice job!  What sort of fit problems did you have?

Jim

Thanks!

Nothing major, every kit I've built has some problems.  The exhaust sagged too low (had to cut and re glue it), the hood was warped and didn't set right (heated up with hairdryer) and the body was a pain to get on (bottom of body is much narrower than peak width, around the door handles - and it didn't sit down on the subframe all the way).

I think it turned out well though.  I'm thinking of going around the windows with BMF... I'm just scared to

Awesome build, I think it looks great the way it is right now. I built this kit a long time ago and it was a disaster for me to get the body on the chassis you did a really awesome job on it.

Awesome job--nice color, and nice detailing onthe wheels. Heck, if you've gone this far, you might as well foil it? 

Don't be skeered! BMF ain't scary--just a small PITA. Get some sharp #11 blade, some NEW BMF, and go for it!

I hate when the bodies don't sit right--I will drive myself absolutely mental looking for something to Dremel-down to make that sucker sit right! A lto fo times it will be the tub sides, or the placement of the radiator,

A good looking car!
