I started working on this one a couple of years ago.It's been kind of hanging around the work bench since then but I started working on it over the weekend.Its the Salvinos Jr Next Gen Camaro kit.The paint is Tamiya.The clear is Splash 2k.The decals are Powerslide including the tire decals. Except for a few add-ons,it will be built basically box stock. Hopefully more progress on it soon🤞

Very sharp looking build.
Looks great so far 8)
Great start, Cat. I was hoping you would try your hand at one of these. Well-engineered kit but the instructions leave a lot to be desired and you can get off on a tangent if you aren't careful. I've seen a lot of kits built wrong in the rear suspension area and the tires end up not being centered in the rear wheel openings correctly.

It's definitely a well engineered kit Mark. I started working on the body when I first bought the kit. Since then, I've seen quite a few people, including yourself build these next gen Camaro kits and I got a lot of good tips on building one. It's definitely a little intimidating.I'm looking forward to tackling the engine and chassis next.
I am starting to wrap up the Salvinos Jr Next Gen Camaro I painted about a year ago and started working back on a few months ago.Sorry I didn't take any in progress pics because there's been a lot going on in the past few months with other model builds,life,etc.These kits are definitely intimidating and finicky to put together! This one almost went back in the box😂 I'm hoping to wrap it up soon.

Looks awesome. Looking forward to the completed model photos. I agree with you on the intimidation factor on the building of these kits. Seems to me better instruction sheets would make these much easier to put together. I spent more time trying to decipher the instructions then actually putting the pieces together. I probably would have built more than just two.
Doing a great job on a very striking build.
Thanks guys.The instructions are definitely hard to decipher🙄 I still plan on building several more of these sometime this year.
