Restoration - 35th Anniv. Camaro
Tore this one apart and gave it a good polish. This model was from my early days, it's straight Krylon red, no clear, no primer. I like it. I'd already built this model once, and my bro spilled an entire jar of flat black on it, so I scrapped the model and donated the engine and seats to Will's black 69 Camaro. I pulled this one back out and the engine and interior were really nice, but the paint was way below par to be put back on the shelf, so I had to do something! Whatcha think?

I like it!! I love the decals. I wish there was a way you could savage them and use them on the new paint job.

Re: Restoration - 35th Anniv. Camaro
looks like a nice build, especially the window trims. This kit was a big PITA for me from the front bumper to the rear spoiler that will not line up for crap. I think Revell kits are more challenging in that you have to do a lot of custom work to make it look nice and perfect. btw I have the stripe decals that I didn't use if you want them.

I have a spare set of stripes, but I decided it would be easier to just polish the existing paint than it would be to strip and repaint the whole car. I think it came out okay, for being a model I built years ago.
I know what you mean about the ill-fitting front bumper, I had to do it twice!

Re: Restoration - 35th Anniv. Camaro
looks good. Yeah, after all the work you have to do with the front bumper, the panel lines arent even correct. If you search, you can see how I fixed mine.

I saw the thread you did about this model, and how you fixed it. It came out looking really good. I'll put a lot more work into it the next time I build this car, I've got the kit already, it's 2 down in the Camaro pile. I plan on doing it in Sunset Orange Metallic.

This is the fixed one! I think I took pictures before I started, but I can't find them right now.

I've found that using acrylic flat black for window trim is very forgiving if your hand gives a little wobble. Then again, I use acrylic paints for everything
 Edit: I dug up an interior shot I took during the process. I guess the rest are on the other computer.
