Camaro ZL1 2013 Revell

Well, it has been a while I did not post anything here since I was busy with RC Cars. I wanted to come back to modelling and needed a quick project to get back in the groove. I picked up the Revell 1/25 Camaro ZL1 2013 pre painted in black. The paint job is pretty good except for the molding marks on the back but those are not too visible thanks to the black color. I hesitated to do a full repaint but then I decided to stick with the quick build plan. I changed the wheels for 19 inch rays RE30 from Fujimi and I painted the ground effects, hood cowl and wheels with Tamiya Gunmetal. The interior was painted with semi gloss and matt black.

Overall it took me just over a week to get it done, which is a record for me. The longest was to set the ride height to something I like. The kit was pretty easy to assemble except for the final step when you put the body on the chassis. For some reason the front did not want to close easily.

It looks pretty good on the shelf and I recommend the kit. I will be back soon with more elaborated work!

Hope you like it.

Nice build. I like the choice for the wheel swap. I have the same build almost finished, but I wasn't as lucky as you, I had to strip mine and repaint it. I had huge runs down the side of the body from either too much paint or clear.

If I might make a suggestion. Add a rear license plate and paint the side markers to break up the black some.

Thanks for the comment and suggestions. The licence plate is on the to do list, but I will keep the side markers black to maintain the sinister look. I forgot to mention that I smoked the headlights to keep it dark overall.

Really like this stealth mobile. The plate will add a little something though

the stealth look works great for me. and the rim choice too :)
