Chevy Camaro Z28 1970 1/2

Absolutely every piece in my kit had a full set of flash wings. Now, I have been modeling for a long time and can handle a bit of flash but not like this. For starters the tooling is really old and the detail was only suggestive at best. My engine block looked like chewed tangerine bubble gum...with flash. Cleaning flash off of tiny parts must just be a pet peeve of mine because I put this thing away years ago. Last week I took the box down and decided to complete it, but the part I saw on the inside brought back bad memories. This was the worst kit I ever had the chance to work on. We will see what the finished product looks like, but I would recommend a different kit especially if this is for a beginner or someone with limited tools.

As others have mentioned, this model is not high quality. The pieces have significant fit issues, horrible molding, tons of flash, you name it. If you want a model to hone your skills on forcing things to fit, then give this one a try. Ultimately, I couldn't get the body to fit on the chassis & tub, and ended up tossing it in the trash after having gone through all, and I mean a LOT, of trouble to build the thing. Incredibly disappointing model kit. It feels like this is a retread of a retread of the mold.

I really like these kits, I am building a series of the 1970 Camaros. The parts fit well and present no assembly problems. the only problem with the kit is that the orange plastic is very hard to paint over. The orange tends to bleed thru the paint. You must spray these cars with a good coat of primer before painting. On the other hand, the orange polishes out nicely if you don't want to paint the car.
