well to get the party started here's the update of the Camaro  I already started work on the body clean the seams and primered (mist) to check what left out... base from experience Revell need clean a lot of seams, flash and fit issues before painting could commence.  Cheers!!! |

Hi Eastrock, the fine detail on white plastic is hard to see, good idea to prime and check! Looks good so far!
Cheers

Thanks Leon for Checking in 1st Mist coat to make the paint adhere to the kit, just let it dry for a day before wetsanding and applying another coat, since I'm using an automotive paint  Just my luck encountered a fitting issue... need to shave the exhaust chamber in order to fit the engine to the chassis  Cheers!!! |

Like the process. I am planning to build the Camaro as my next project. Yours is looking sweet right now. I have built the Challenger already and as a little pre-tip; When preparing the body parts for paint, make sure you sand the edges of the hood bc it was very tight and wouldn't fit right after paint.

I have used Hobby design before. Good sets. DIdn't know they made one for the Challenger. Must be Rotors and small metal emblems mostly.

yes they have also included the radiator cover, but the best parts are the emblems which add details to the kit
