1969 Camaro - USACC 2026 Group Build

USACC 2026 5th Annual Group Build - 1969 Camaro

The USACC Group Build, in my opinion, is becoming and institution. I don't usually do group builds; however, I love this one. A special thank you to the founders of this group build: Matt at The Luka Cee YouTube Channel and Mark Batson at Hobbydude 007 YouTube Channel

This year Fred Henry - West Georgia Rods Customs Fred Henry - West Georgia Rods Customs picked what kit we would be building. He picked the Revell 1969 Camaro. I'm not a GM guy, but I do love the Camaro.

This page contains a photo journal of my build for the 1969 Camaro X/28 RS edition or the SS 396 or a combination of the two.

The Revell '69 Camaro is the kit being built for the Unified Scale Auto Content Creator (USACC) build that runs from:
September 15, 2025 to March 15, 2026.

As of this posting (September 2025) I have not decided how I'm going to build this kit. I'm not a GM-Chevy guy, but after doing some preliminary research, I realized there are several different flavors of the '69 Camaro and I like some things on each different package.

After the announcement of what we were going build, I stopped at Hobby Lobby and picked up the "motor City Muscle Z/28 RS" version (shown in the box art image above). Then I watched the intro video from Kim Kustom Garage and learned of the SS 396 version. I really liked that version and found one on Ebay at a reasonable price (box art shown above). Than...after doing some research on Camaro's, there are things I like about both versions; therefore, I'm not sure if I'll do the Z/28 RS or the SS 396 or a combination of both. Or...I might just build both of them. Like I don't have enough projects in progress.

So...as of this writing I'm leaning toward showroom quality on either or both. Stay tuned for my final decision.
