Revell 1981 camaro Z28 convertible

[kelson]

Wrapped up a couple days ago,color is Dark Brown metallic,decals from the reissued 81'coupe,wheels from the 86'Monte Carlo SS and tires from the parts box with Shabo dry tranfers added.I also changed the exhaust tips,i didn't like how they hung straight down.

The paint color was a popular choice at the time and the finish with the Z-28 decals looks great. Like the extra effort you put into the wheel and tire combination.

Nice looking Camaro.  Well done.

Excellent work, I like it as a convertible.

Used to see a bunch of these in the Charleston area in the early 2000s.  Just sitting in people's yards rusting away.

[Phildaupho]

Another gorgeous build.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Nice build. Great looking and nicely detailed.

Very well done ????

That's beautiful! My favorite Camaro body style (2nd only to the 69). My favorite thing to do as a younger builder, was to make convertibles out of cars that never were factory built.

Beautiful  Z28!

Thanks,the box art wheels/tires looked pretty sad,google has some many good photos detailing is much easier to do.

Sad to see any car rotting away as they were someones pride and joy at one time.?

I've seen quite a few people build the amt 70'Monte Carlo as a convertible,looks good.

Beautiful build! Cool to see a cab on this gen Camaro, never seen It before! 

[XYHARRY]

Nice Camaro there Curtis, cool to see a build of a rare NCE convertible. Your conversion looks identical to the 1:1. Well done.

Cheers, 

David. ??

[Bob Ellis]

Your Build inspires me to build mine......someday. I have the Firebird convertible too.

[Musclecarbuilder]

Fantastic job! I love how you painted the lettered tires!

[ATHU]

Thanks,i was nervous doing it,but luckily the ridge on the wheels made it easy to just flow paint on and it followed the line perfectly.
