Hi all well my son came round today for a bbq (his sisters birthday) and I showed him this he said there's only one colour scheme for a camaro and that's black and yellow, I said no this is the older version but he gave me a lecture about how at the beginning of the film he had the older version it only transformed to the new on later in the film. Anyway it's my model and this is how it's staying, here's tonight's bit.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Bumblebee was a Gen2 Camaro at the beginning of the film (a 1976 model). This is a Gen1, so he's still not correct. ![]() |

Hi all the engine is complete, I must say this is a really great kit, part fit is good, the chrome plating is also very good, and the detail is excellent, I would recommend this to anyone.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yes, far left is the parking brake. As most American cars are automatic, they usually have only 3. |

Hi all well I've made a bit of a booby on this, tried polishing the paint to get a better shine and on the side I polished through to the primer a bit so will have to get some more pound land silver, anyway here is the latest update.![]() ![]() ![]() This kit seems to be going together very well, all seems to be a good fit, I must admit she's a beautiful looking car, not really surprising it was designed at the peak of American car design, before all car manufacturers started to build cars that were indistinguishable from their rivals, I love this period and before when you could tell one car from another at 300 yards, whereas nowadays you have to get within 10 feet to tell if it's a Ford or a Citroën. |

I just cannot fault this, your weathering is superb. Aren't the tyres a bit thin for all that power though as there was one at a neighbours house until he moved a couple of years ago and his wheels and tyres were wide. |

Hi all well it's finished, not great but not rubbish either, wish I was better at this but at least it's presentable, I think I'm on the right track, I'm quite pleased with the paint job, quality could be much better but I like the style of it ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And as you can see I'm running out of room maybe time to start binning stuff
