1955 Chevrolet Cameo Pickup | AMT 1:25

My wife and kids got me this for Christmas last year. I had started it earlier this year and lost interest (it happens a lot lol). I am trying to get it back so I decided to get it finished. It probably could use a few more details here and there, but I wanted to get it off the desk!

Brings back memories, an old neighbor now and then gave me a ride to school in one of those, though green. That obviously was back in the day. Yours Looks Great on my screen !!

Really nicely done, it turned out just fine. I was 14 when a neighbor bought his '55 Cameo new, soon after a good 'ol midwest hailstorm did a number on it so he had it fully repainted, then it was dark green with yellow trim. (He had all John Deere equipment,) the Cameo looked gawdy in town, but looked just right on his farm.

Nice work, thanks for the post and photos.
