I still need to add a DM '67 and '68. I'd love to have an FM red '67, but every one I've seen have serious rot issues and they still want too much. Kinda like the orange DM '69 Firebird. The blue is a Greenlight model, the yellow is CP, the orange and gold are M2.😊

Very nice set.  I think the CP models are just as good as the DM/FM models.  Love mine.  I have nine different CP models of the Camaro.

@carsman1958  John, you are correct, that yellow convertible is as nice as the yellow FM convertible. 💯👍

Those Camaros all look excellent ! I have/had a silver 1969 Yenko Camaro in 1/24 scale but unfortunately it has suffered from intergranular corrosion, especially in the hood and hinges.

@michaeldetorrice  that's a bummer Mike. I bet that was sharp.

Thanks, Geno. I think it was a Greenlight replica. It is in silver, much like your blue example. It might be that the hood and door hinges were the main parts affected and something could still be salvaged. Oh well !

Thanks ! Your blue version of the Yenko by Greenlight looks superb. That color really makes it stand out on display. Chevy (and GL) did a terrific job on this one and a Camaro collection from the same era/generation is always a treat to see. Smile

beautiful pics Geno and yes great models. I have the yellow FM and thought yours was too. I have it paired with FMs blue hardtop and I have DMs 67 hardtop, and, I their think original Camaro model, the 69 red/white convertible. Good luck finding an FM red 67. Mine has minor/medium level rash all over. However it hasn't got any worse over the years I've had it. And it is not noticeable when in the display case.

My real rash issue was probably my favorite Camaro model. DMs 67 yellow RS/SS convertible. So bad I returned it for a refund. Have one on watchlist now.

Thanks guys,  I do appreciate it.  Geoff, I'd love to find an FM '67 that looked that good. I've had a few models develop a little rash. I've wet sanded and polished them out with good results. 😊

thanks Geno, but its not one I take out of the showcase to 'show off' to people! Would love to see a before/after example of your wet sand polish work. At your convenience of course.

@geoff-jowett Let me see if I got a model that needs any work. I think I've got them mostly done, lol.😊
