A switch and a 9-volt. Working airbags?

The tanks look cool!

and it 's true i just realised with the pics that the tires has got too low profile tires(it will be better on my next 1/12),

thanks,but i still have a lot of work on it and i think that i will put it on stand by(2 months that i only work on it and i have about 4 projects in progress so...)
many many thanks again!

Yes i did, says 69 camaro convertible.


many companies made 69 camaros, thats all

[shorty327]

Killer Maro needs more rubber. Like the mods thou.Did u spin those wheels?

[mike@af]

That pretty sweet. The new rims are killer. Were the rims machined on a mill?

[BugZilla]

Looking great and the rims do look better, though not really in tune with my personal tastes. One thing, now that the wheels are opened up, you might consider doing some larger rotors and calipers, looks rather barren behind the wheels.

[11chevy]

many thanks for all your replies,

GTmike400:
yes wheels are made on a numerical mill(i don't sure for the sense in english),and the exterior are made on a lathe,

brakes are made on a lathe too,and i just realised that they are a little bit small for those rims,but all my mistakes are good experience for my next models,and this camaro was built for the third time (and between three cities)so a lot of parts are not in good condition so it is hard to have a good finish but for my first 1/12 i like it!
thanks again

[Fastphil]

one other thing, i dunno if anyone mentioned it or if you fixed it with the new wheels, but on the first set of wheels the right front tire is mounted backwards.

[11chevy]

oh,exactly
i don't remark that
but i have been more careful with teh new version,
thanks,
the camaro in my garage...


bye,
