You can usually find me in the aircraft section of the forum, but it's time for me to get my feet wet in the world of autmotive modeling.
To make a long story short I recently lost my Dad. His most prized possesion.......a 1969 Z/28 of course. Which he gave to me 10 years ago. Yes I still have the car, only way she leaves me is when I give her to my daughter. Anywho, I bought the 1/12 scale, and the smaller 1/25. I figured the smaller one would be good practice, and let me know what I was getting into before trying the big one that I would like to build in honor of my Dad.
So I'm going to over load you with pics. I've been taking progress pics as I go, but have just now started the thread!
What I started with:
Started on the engine, which I'm trying to make it roughly look like the engine in my Camaro. Mine has the flat black valve covers, timing chain cover and air cleaner with the Chevrolet lettering in red.
Some other stuff painted.
More progress on the engine.
Installed in the chassis.
Where I left off for today. I'm using stretched sprue for the spark plug wires, and I'm finding out it's not the easiest thing to work with, lol. They are a bit on the long side. I should of used metal twist tie pieces instead. I may still change it out.
A few pics of the real thing.
