gjorenby Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Finished with my build of Buddy Repperton's 1967 Camaro from the movie Christine. This was the Revell kit with a few modifications which include: Replaced the SS hood from the Revell kit with the standard hood from the AMT kit. Not a perfect fit but matches the hood from the movie New hood/trunk stripes from Dave Strickler. The kit emblems were printed with the hood louvers in mind and would not work on a standard hood. Replaced the grill with the molded in SS emblem with a standard grill (also from the AMT kit) and added a photo etch emblem Photo etch Camaro script emblems on hood and trunk. Photo etch flag emblems on front fenders with kit decals applied. Turbine wheels. No one seems to have the correct Remington XT-Belted tires so went with plain blackwall tires for now. Hoping to find the correct tires or decals for them in the future. Photo etch standard gas cap instead of the SS version in the kit Tamiya SkyBlue Anodized Aluminum (PS-49) over a base of Tamiya Bare Metal Silver (AS-12) with a generous layer of Tamiya Clear (TS-13). Standard interior build with added carpet and photo etch steering wheel Standard 396 engine with added plug wires, although I know the alternator is on the incorrect side for a true 1967 396. I am guessing Buddy swapped motors as some point. See my Christine build if interested.... Enjoy and Happy Building! 1
Bills72sj Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Very nice re-creation. It seems your tires are struggling to stay tight to the rims. You might want to try this trick in the future. The pic is of a semi truck tire. For car tires I split the backer rod down the middle.
Oldcarfan27 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Nice job! I almost can hear "Beast of Burden" on the radio. Sure like that those wheels went to good use. Edited May 18, 2021 by Oldcarfan27

e30lover Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Small details you added definitely paid off! Love the understated look on Camaro.
