Back to the model, the paintjob is extremely well made and there are no
blemishes at all. The livery is completely made by using tampos which are great
and accurate in colour and position.
The front of the model is very aggressive. the lights look very realistic and
the grill is beautifully done and is actually perforated. The back of the model
is nice aswell with very realistic lights. The lower part of the fuel tank can
be seen aswell. As you can see, the model is numbered as #3668. This is because
the model is a limited edition of 5000 pieces.
The model has opening bonnet, doors and rear compartment. All shutlines are
pretty much discrete but they are not perfect, could be tighter. The bonnet
hinges are a real masterpiece and the doors do not have any doglegs. The only
complaint I have is that the rear compartment does not keep open on its own.
First up is the cockpit, no doglegs holding the doors open luckily. The cockpit
itself is very spartan and very dull. Everything is white/greyish except for
the seat, dashboard and gearbox. the dashboard are guages are excellent, very
realistic. The seat is ok but the seatbelt mechanisn and detail is very nice
and very well made with a lot of photoetched pieces.
The front bonnet opens up nicely with realistic and functional hinges which do
stay up on its own. Craftsmenship at its best. The engine is even better, loads
of details and if the filter is hiding some details... viola! It comes off! I
must say I am really impressed with the detail on this engine, the pinnacle of
this model for sure. I will let the pictures do the talking....
The rear compartment is very simple and shows the fuel tank and some nicely
done wires, as already mentioned, it does not stay open by itself, but I have
reason to believe that this problem is just on my example.
The undercarriage is extremely realistic and has tonnes of little details here
and there, certainly one of the best I have ever seen. The exhaust system is
awesome IMO.
The wheels are extraordinary aswell. The rim is very realistic in the
black/silver combo while the tyre is branded with firestone and its wide as
chunky, perfect for Trans Am. The treads are very realistic aswell. the brake
section may be a little let down. I cannot see any calipers and the disk brakes
are not very well detailed.
In the end, I really love this model. GMP really did well. The mould itself is
exceptionally well done and worth every LM I paid for it. I hope I can get my
hands on more Camaros from GMP, cause for me, this model is exceptionally good.
Highly reccomended.
