This has been the model from.....well, you know where. I've been working on this off and on for about 2 years now, not actual work, but getting frustrated and putting it away for awhile. It's had the body replaced once, then the second one was painted and stripped twice, nothing in the kit fit without modification...it was just a mess! It's certainly not my best effort, but I'm finally calling it DONE!
This is a model of a car my sister had back in 1975, a 1967 Camaro SS350 with a factory 4 speed. It's the nasty old AMT kit (I wish Revell would give us an all new tool '67-'68). I added a black vinyl top using the "spray adhesive" technique. Most of the engine bits are from the parts box. I used front seats from a Revell '69 Camaro with the headrests removed, then rescribed the upholstery pattern to match a standard interior. The wheels are from an AMT '69 Chevelle. Correct SS Hood is from Time Machine resins and grill is from Modelhaus. Paint is GM Butternut Yellow from Scalefinishes, and striping decals are from Keith Marks.
I can't really say it was a fun build, lol....but I'm glad it's finally finished.
....And by the way, one of the few regrets my sister has is getting rid of this car. We've actually been trying to locate it lately, but have came up short so far.
