Burgandy!!! Looks awesome! Yellow looks nice aswell! Monogram should re-issue these for us modelers who want them now! I really liked your Camaro and wanted to make a replica of my dad's old SS!

Looks nice and shiney :smoka: .

Build the red one first.

awesome work, and go the yellow.

Hono,
You can actually find these kits on Ebay at decent prices. I managed to get both of these for under $30 if I remember correctly, which is a bargain considering the size and detail of these kits. The 427 in this kit is a great replica itself.

Red one!

The Red one!! What kind of primer did you use? That finish is sooo shiny. I might try these paints on my next car.

you, me, and everyone else thats sprayed a can of paint knows that it takes skills to get a shine like that. great job. cant wait to see the engine detail.

Ok, here is the update. I am working on the RED car first (there you go, guys ). So far, I have rubbed out the finish and it looks pretty deep. I spent the last two nights foiling around the windows trying to get it just right. So far, I am really pleased with the results. The engine block is assembled and painted though without all the accessories and manifolds. I am going to rub that out shortly. All engine peices are painted, as well as the chasis. So all that is left is the suspension and interior, and of course assembly. I am really anxious to get this done, and I`ll post pictures as soon as I can.

They look awesome Hawk, I would of voted to see the yellow one done first if I was on AF when you made this thread. I was going to but that 1/12 57 Belair you mentioned, it was only $60 AUSD I had the money but I wanted my Roadrunner and my Superbird, so I didn't get it. They both will look great when done, I probably won't be on AF when you finish them either Well I'll track them down somehow.

[SuPeRcAr_MaN]

I can't wait to see the finished products.

I probably won't be on AF when you finish them either

Where are you going? It was cool to have someone else here who shared interest in muscle cars.

[Purpura Delujo]

I'm just at my dads, I won't be leaving AF for awhile yet. Dad has no interent but has a computer, thats where I scan my model pics, do my models etc. I finished my Roadrunner a couple days ago, started on the El Camino that Antonio sent me & I've done 60% of the Superbird. Nearly finished my redone 67 Mustang & I've got many ideas for my next batch of models (9 of them) that I will get sometime next month.

Yeah same with me, also cool for me to be around someone who owns a Chicken .
