I've had this kit since last year, and i screwed up on it. I compiled 4 scrap Revell Camaro's (Some SS's and some Z28's) to make 1 good one. So far I've painted it Dupli Color Bright Red, and put a pair of BBS rims on it.

Cool. I can`t wait to see it finished. Are you going to clear coat it and rub it out? Where did you get the wheels?

yeah, i still gotta clear coat it and what not. The wheels are from Fujimi's Nissan 300ZX

with the BBS rims, the car seemed to look like that "Im about to out handle you" look. Camaro's arent about handling. They're about going strait. Fast. So, i changed the rims around, and i found these.. American Racing Torq Thrusts Rims.

Getting the windshields in on this model is a total bitch.
Yours is coming along nicely.

i think im using 1400 or something like. Something in the mid thousands. But, yeah, the window is a bitch. Im gonna cut it in half and install it in 2 different pieces.

Actually, I think the BBS look bette just because of the profile, though I do like those torque thrusts on newer cars. Did you take a look at the Monogram `59 (i think) corvette kit with the low profile torque thrusts? It is a black corvette on the box art. Those wheels are absolutely perfect for the Revell Camaro/Trans Am kits.

those are actually the stock tires, so those are stock profile (although the box stock 10-spoke SS rims are scale 16's and not 17's like they should be) and this is what i ment by cut. Unfortunatley, it broke before i could cut it..
