New Project.......1/12 Scale 1969 Camaro

Well, there seems to be a few building big scale 1/12 kits here so i thought i'd join in and build one myself.
Couldn't beleive my luck when this kit came up for sale at a auction here in New Zealand.
This is one kit i've looked for ages trying to find as its a 1:1 car i'd love to own.
To cut along story short, i won the auction and it arrived today. As soon as i finish the GT-4, this will be next.
The kit is stunning for a older kit. Detail is first class.
I know there is a aftermarket detail set you can buy which i now need to find on the web somewhere!!
Cant wait to start this as it will be only my second 1/12 kit.
The first one i built years and years ago ended up in the rubbish bin.

Here's a few pics.

Re: 1/12 Scale 1969 Camaro

I have the exact same kit. I got it a couple of years ago at my hobby shop - didn't realize that it was tough to get.

I have to agree, the kit looks like it will build into an awesome model. I don't dare jump into it, cuz I'll surely ruin it. Gotta build the skilz a bit more!!

Never seen a progress thread on this kit. Looking forward to it!!

PS. - I think you should paint it black, with white stripes!!

Re: 1/12 Scale 1969 Camaro

Forgot to add this pic.
It gives you an idea on the size. Thinking about building it the same as the smaller 1/25 Camaro.

OMG that's awesome, i knew 1/12 was big but hadn't seen a comparison or it next to anything of size i'm sure of. That gives me an Excellent idea of the size!!! I cant wait to find one myself, my skills however need work.

Re: New Project.......1/12 Scale 1969 Camaro

That blue and white paint scheme would look killer on the 1/12. Im not normally a fan of muscle cars, but that one is gold. Cant wait to see the progress on it. If you dont go blue, try the same orange its moulded in. That would look stellar with the P-Man shine.

I love camaro's. Im going to build my 1/25 Pro Touring style. Have to stole Pug 206 wheels on it. But in 1/12 scale that would be harder. Maybe you have to buy 1/12 Skyline for wheels. Cheap wheels indeed.

I find these bigger models interestive because it is easier to build details. Although you have to build more of them.
