Cheap and cheerful
A red Chevy Camaro convertible, going cheap! I just had to have it!
*********************************
A forced perspective shot of my latest 1/18th scale 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 convertible with the backdrop of another section of our village bird pond area.
This model was lying unloved and unwanted in what was effectively a bargain bin at a local auto accessory shop. Upside down, under a pile of other gear, I rescued it, paid the bargain price being asked and gave it a new home. The model is from the cheap and cheerful end of the scale model market, but is very well detailed in most areas, but less so in others. The radio antenna was 2mm thick on the model, so would have translated to a whopping 36mm at full scale. That had to go! But conversely, it has a beautifully detailed engine bay and fully operational suspension! Most importantly, it's red, has shiny chrome wheels and it's a convertible. A perfect day to show it off too!
