First Photos: GreenLight Collectibles 1978-81 Chevrolet Camaro

Fans of the classic late seventies Camaro will appreciate GreenLight Collectibles latest effort. The 1978-81 Chevrolet Camaro is featured in numerous test shots. Scale is 1:18, so far we like what we see. No details on suggested retail or estimated time of arrival, but stay tuned to DiecastSociety.com for the latest news!

Not sure about the colour. A little too industrial for me

I'm assuming that is pre-production, I think the vents and spoilers were mostly body color in the 1:1's.

that isn't the color that they're releasing...they're just showing the progress of the mold.

Apologies for the off topicness, but what is the general opinion on Greenlight Collectibles? They have a few Indycars that I have been looking at.

Indy Cars are decent. Not sure about the contemporary one's, but I've got a couple that the engine cover is a separate piece, but others that are sealed tight.

One complaint I've seen (but can't verify, as I am not that heavily into Indy Car racing), is that the Indy 500 versions do not have the correct aero package.
