Revell 1985 Camaro Z-28 1/24 Scale Model Build

[@RCBirds]

Very cool build and colour design👍

[@powersmodelgarage]

Thank you! It’s probably my favorite one right now. I very happy with it. 👍

This is a great video. It brings back memories of my own 1985 Z28. I bought it in August of 1985. It was the same color, and wheels as this model. My car had the TPI 305 as opposed to the kit's carburated engine. One other detail I noticed was the exhaust. My car had a single muffler with dual outlet tail pipes. It did have a very low restriction and a nice roar under acceleration. My car met its end at an intersection when a lady ran a stop sign. My car and I were totaled. The side road she was on intersected a highway I was traveling on at 65 Mph. I skidded 31 feet before impact. It was a large collision.

Thank you. I always wanted one as a kid. When I think of a Camaro, its this one. Awesome you had one. Sorry it met an unfortunate end. That sounds like a bad day indeed. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. 👍

You did an awesome job on the Camero

I have passed on this kit many times at HL. You have just changed my mind. Great work there!

[@powersmodelgarage]

Wow. Thank you! That is quite a compliment. It was a nice kit. 👍

Great Video!! I, like many other commenters here, had passed this kit up many times. I finally broke down and bought it at Hobby Lobby during the 40% off sale. It does go together quite well despite the engine being part of the chassis. I did mine in a Krylon Black Cherry Shimmer Metallic with the silver trim on the bottom. It turned out pretty awesome looking when it was finished.

[@powersmodelgarage]

Thank you. It is a simple kit but it is an enjoyable build. Yours sounds like it came out awesome. That black cherry has to look great 👍

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

@@powersmodelgarage Thank you, it's up on my channel if you care to have a look at it. I realize that it may be inappropriate to plug my channel in your comment section and I apologize for that but just thought that you might want to see my build of this kit...

[@powersmodelgarage]

@@scaleautoguysworkbench no worries. I would like to take a look. I will check it out.

I keep passing up this kit at Hobby lobby but you are convincing me to buy this kit.... On 40% off day!

[@powersmodelgarage]

It’s a buy for sure. It’s a nice kit. I enjoyed it.

[@3amfoghorngearhead791]

great video!! thank you for making this! i'm getting ready to start the very same model

[@powersmodelgarage]

Thank you! 👍 It’s a good kit. Enjoy the build!

[@scalemodeloutlaw]

Cool kit! Great colors. I just found your channel and gave you a sub. I will be staying tuned in

[@powersmodelgarage]

Awesome! Thank you and thanks for the sub. Very much appreciated 👍

[@INeeDMyGarageTime]

Nice build 🔥 what kind of brush you used to paint the center caps and lugs

[@powersmodelgarage]

Thank you! The brush was A Tamiya brush with a fine point

[@dustinleon9451]

Do you do any custom work for people? My dad had this exact 85 but he had it painted. I have this model and would love to get it built to look like his old Camaro.

[@powersmodelgarage]

I appreciate the compliment but unfortunately no. I’ve never done anything like that. I just build them for fun at a leisurely pace. Sounds like he had an awesome Camaro though.

[@andrzejdomian460]

Question for ya, how do you go about the tail lights? You paint them right? I havent started it yet just opened to look and noticed the taillights they gave are clear and im not seeing any stickers

[@powersmodelgarage]

Yes, I used Tamiya clear red x-27 and Tamia clear orange x-26. If you use a good small flat brush, you can paint along the ridges. I also used Tamiya making tape to be sure the lines stayed straight

[@tyonthestage]

what were all of the paints you used?

[@powersmodelgarage]

The blue is Tamiya X-13 Metallic Blue. The grey is Tamiya x-10 Gun Metal

[@PierLuigiAmadio]

Celo anch'io 1/8

1/8th scale would be awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting
