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 and clear is all Tamiya.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🤞

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.
